/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> Idiomatic expressions are the
‘salt and pepper’ of any language. They give Spanish its colour
and imagery, its richness and variety. From set phrases and idioms to
metaphorical expressions and proverbs, these essential components
allow users to add humour and spice to their language, vividly
embodying Hispanic culture while naturalizing their communication
style to more closely resemble that of native speakers. <br /><br
/>Key features: <br />- Includes a selection of the most widely used
idioms from Spain and Latin America;<br />- Idioms are classified into
specific and easy-to-reference categories;<br />- Creative activities,
exercises, mnemonic devices and learning strategies facilitate the
acquisition and mastery of idiomatic language;<br />- Connections
between the Spanish language and Hispanic culture are explained and
illustrated;<br />- Reference tables at the end of each section
highlight similarities between English and Spanish usage of idiomatic
language;<br />- Original samples, as well as fragments from various
Spanish-speaking countries and well-known literary works, are included
to help expose students to the use of idioms in journalistic and
literary writing.<br /><br />Practical, informative and highly
entertaining, this is the ideal text for all intermediate and advanced
learners of Spanish.</p><br /><b>Temática:</b> Español como lengua
