Der Gimmick: eespnocHENES DEUrscH

HABLADo El Gimmickt espnnoL by Adrienne These three books may well be "the handiestlanguage guidesyet," aslhe LondonDailt Mirror calledthem.They are designedfor the readerwho has high-school or college French,German, or Spanishand who has found that the languages taughtin schoolare not what is actuallyspoken. Each book leads the reader painlessly from classroom languageto the languageof the people. Here is how to be angry in the foreigntongue,how to fall in love, be vulgar, be polite, deal with an officiouscop, or tell a friend she is too old to wear minis.
