این کتاب به نام "اصطلاحات زبان اسپانیایی" از انتشارات آوند دانش منتشر شده و می‌تونین از همونجا بخونین.
البته یه سری نکته وجود داره. برای شروع کتاب باید حداقل در سطح مبتدی اسپانیایی بلد باشین، یکم صرف فعل ها دستتون اومده باشه و لهجه‌تون شکل گرفته باشه. خود کتاب برای صرف فعل و آموزش لغات توضیحات خوبی داده ولی خب بلد باشید بهتره.
نکته‌ی دوم اینه که لهجه‌ی آموزشی کتاب لهجه‌ی آمریکای جنوبیه و اسپانیایی نیست. در نظر داشته باشین که اگه دارین اسپانیایی به لهجه‌ی اسپانیا یاد میگیرین j ها رو خ بخونین و ll ها رو ی بخونین و کاربرد یه سری لغاتم بدونین که اگه تو مادرید بگین ممکنه نفهمن چی میگین(چون بیشتر به اسپانیایی مکزیک و شیلی و پرو پرداخته کتاب)
در نهایت کتاب خوبی بود و واقعا به دانش من اضافه کرد. بخونینش و کلا اسپانیایی بخونین :))) بیش از اندازه زبان شیرینیه.

I'm trying to teach myself Spanish through Duolingo, Babbel and Memrise.
Recently a friend of mine (who takes Spanish classes, uses Duolingo and gets reference materials from the bookstore) lent this to me and it's super helpful.
Basically, these simple words and phrases are divided into different categories, like "for work" or "communicating with your friends". This makes it easy for me to find Spanish phrases that are useful to me. (Bonus: There are a couple of tips on how to fit in and be more fluent in the language.)
Love this interesting book!
