Learning the Local Language: Your Guide to Real World Spanish

by Jared Romey

I don’t have an Hispanic background, I didn’t start as a kid. I learned Spanish as an adult, just like you.


During that process I faced one of the most difficult aspects of the Spanish the diversity among countries! Yes, this language is different in every Spanish-speaking country. What? Nobody ever mentioned that before? I’m not surprised, I had the same experience.


Learning the Local Your Guide to Real World Spanish is an eBook where I share tricks and tips on becoming fluent in local Spanish. Today, I am fluent in Spanish and am convinced that nobody should struggle as I did the first time I stepped into a Spanish-speaking country.

About the author

Suffering a typical 9-5 existence, Jared's foray into lunch-hour Spanish shook up his mundane life. He quit his job, stopped by briefly to school, and then left his country...for 14 years. Early stumblings in real-world Spanish taught him that a cola isn't just a soft drink, bicho doesn't always mean a bug, and boludo may be heartfelt or middle-finger felt. Nine countries, three startups, two bestsellers and a Puerto Rican wife later, he is still confounded by how many Spanish words exist for "panties." His quest is to discover all those words. In between, he meanders, dabbles in languages, drinks wine and sells shampoo.
