    Lingo Mastery

    What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the Spanish language?

    You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy.

    In fact, the toughest part of learning Spanish is knowing how to speak like a native.

    Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

    However, how many of them provide you the tools necessary to have a common conversation with a best friend or someone you’ve just met? Not many at all.

    Language learners often complain about this - a lack of material that can help you familiarize yourself with the most common phrases used in everyday conversation and in native surroundings.

    For this reason, we at Lingo Mastery have developed Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 1500 Common Phrases for Everyday Use and Travel for you, our favorite language-learner, so that you may find the best expressions for common usage in Spanish speaking countries and communicate with your Spanish friends, colleagues, and client without any issue!

    • An introduction with a detailed guide on how to pronounce vowels and consonants (as well as their combinations) in the Spanish tongue.
    • A list of over 1,500 common phrases in Spanish, with an accurate translation in English for your understanding.
    • A phonetics pronunciation guide of each and every word in the phrases, included after every translation.
    • Finally, a conclusion to make sure you’ve learned and supply you with a final list of tips.

    Your days struggling with natural communication with natives is finally over. Our Easy Spanish Phrase Book is here.

    It’s time for you to take your Spanish to the next level.

    This dictionary is organized in sets of proverbs, where the English proverb is followed by one or more Spanish equivalent proverbs. The English proverbs are arranged according to a main word. Equivalent proverbs are those which express the same concept, be it literally or with different words.

    Proverbs included in this collection come from monolingual, bilingual and multilingual collections, some as old as the 16th century, and it should be accepted that some of them are contradictory, discriminatory, blasphemous or scurrilous and as such they reflect past attitudes and express the idiosyncrasies of a people and their culture through time and history. At the same time, proverbs are based on the practical experience of humankind and show us that we can change and do better.

    While proverbs are still used today in a traditional way, that is in speech, literature and teaching, they have found a new ever-expanding use in the advertising industry and in the mass media. Proverbs like "Here today, gone tomorrow" become "Hair today, gone tomorrow" in the hair-removal industry, while the mass media has a variety of paraphrases such as "Hear today, gone tomorrow," "Heir today, gone tomorrow." Before the Barcelona Olympic Games, the old proverb "All roads lead to Rome" became "All roads lead to Barcelona" in many English language newspapers and magazines. This is a phenomenon encountered in many languages today and is undoubtedly a sign of the proverb's resilience and vitality.

    As travel has become more frequent than in the past, more people learn foreign languages and proverbs are borrowed from the cultures they come in contact with. It is good, therefore, to be familiar with them. Read by native speakers, the proverbs in this dictionary will allow you to practice the language you are studying, by helping you improve your pronunciation, enrich your vocabulary and become familiar with the structure of the language.

    Ferial Youakim

    Ferial Youakim's dream in life has been to share some of the tools she has found in her own frustrating struggle while not believing in herself. She had to change her thinking to change her life. She had to learn how to believe in herself and love herself for the way she was and not the way others wanted her to be. Although making her mark as a highly respected image consultant in the fashion and retail industries, Ferial Youakim is on the rise of being one of the next inspiring writers of our time. She has battled with thinking she’s not good enough and her own internal contentions; however, she is still standing today and wants to share her story. She had to change her thinking to change her life. She had to learn how to believe in herself and love herself for the way she is and not the way others wanted her to be. Through her story, she wishes to offer peace and success to those who are struggling to find their own self-value. Ferial Youakim’s passion is not just evident in her writing, but also in her work. With a belief that no person should feel less than what they deserve, she wants every single person to understand their own positive self-value. Ferial has hosted image seminars in the hope that the people can discover their true beauty, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. These seminars create scenarios reflective of social and business settings with the use of personal consultations. Additionally, she has consulted to numerous organizations and retailers about the importance of positive self-image. Feral's career spans over thirty years, and she has no intention of stopping. With an award-winning charity and having had the position of global president of AICI (Association of Image Consultants Internationa), she wants to further her ambition. She will not stop until everyone has discovered their true worth. She doesn’t make people beautiful because she is an image consultant; she reminds them of their beauty.
