Pardon My Spanglish

Pardon My Spanglish

In Pardon My Spanglish, stand-up comedian Bill Santiago chronicles the quintessentially American alegrÃas of his mother tongue: the quirky, hilariously improvisational fusion of inglÃ©s and espaÃ±ol spoken by millions (even if they donâ€™t know or admit que estÃ¡n doing it). With crash-course efficiency, cada pÃ¡gina de este libro empowers your every step toward Spanglish mastery. How can you not love Spanglish? Twice the vocabulary, half the grammar!
