Chile is known for having created an enormous amount of distinct words and expressions. Consequently, the Spanish spoken in Chile is frequently indiscernible to gringos and native Spanish speakers alike. This dictionary and phrasebook collects over 1,500 of these terms and idioms, knows and 'chilenismos', and expresses them in simple English. The book also explores the roots of chilenismos and explains the grammatical constructions and idiosyncratic speech patterns particular to Chileans. This is an ideal guide for tourists, businesspeople, and anyone who plans to spend time or to live in Chile. It is also a valuable tool for the Chilean expatriate, who can be transported back to his home country and reminded of how rich and entertaining chilenismos are.
Awesome Book
| Customer Rating: | | This book is truly the language of the Chilean people. It's mainly slang, which makes it so fun. I have a friend in Santiago who said that it was truly slang. I said good then I shall know the language when communicating. However what is not in the book if you want real coffee not instant coffee in Chile you are to ask for cafe, cafe. Also 1 minute in the Chilean language, there is another term that is not in the book, it means it could be an hour. Just an FYI. I enjoyed the book as did my friend in Santiago, Chile........ when I purchased this. |
chilenismos
| Customer Rating: | | I spent hours with some chilenos discussing this book. They laughed and were amazed how the author captured the true meanings and nuances throughout this book. I recommend it to anyone traveling to Chile as a must! |
Brilliant!
| Customer Rating: | | We just took a trip to Chile last month and bought this book off Amazon and were SO glad to have it with us. We used it to learn "Chilean" spanish and it was very helpful. The phrases in the book are quite accurate, according to the locals, and they were surprised to see some of their everyday phrases in the book. I highly recommend it if you're going to visit or live in Chile and you need a jump start on their dialect of the language. |
'Chilean' in a nutshell
| Customer Rating: | | This book will be a great help for anyone planing on going to Chile, and will be a hoot for anyone who's been there (esp. those who know Spanish). Having lived there, I wish I had this book before I went! I love this book. |
