内容简介
In "Pardon My Spanglish," stand-up comedian Bill Santiago chronicles the quintessentially American alegrias of his mother tongue: the quirky, hilariously improvisational fusion of ingles and espanol spoken by millions (even if they don't know or admit que estan doing it). With crash-course efficiency, cada pagina de este libro empowers your every step toward Spanglish mastery. How can you not love Spanglish? Twice the vocabulary, half the grammar!
Readers will learn:
- The outlaw syntax of Spanglish (as observed by a comedian with no formal training in linguistics whatsoever)
- Advanced tricks of Spanglish conjugation ("to google" Yo googleo, tu googleas, nosotros googleamos)
- The Top 10 Best Things About Being Latino (#6: Guaranteed part in high school production of "West Side Story")
- Why "People en Espanol" should simply be called "Gente"
- Handy corporate Spanglish phrases, including "Feliz hump day"
- The secret Spanglish agenda of Dora the Explorer
- And mucho mas!
Full of dead-on observations about immigration paniqueo, "oprima el dos" backlash, and every politically incorrect sentiment in between, "Pardon My Spanglish "is essential reading for Latinos--and the Latino-curious.
