Customer Reviews

Get this book. It's a must read!

I got this book and could not put it down for days. Every Spanglish speaking person should buy and read "Pardon My Spanglish." Excellent writing y Bill es super chistoso! Now I know why I speak like I do. Finally alguien me lo explicó!! Every chapter is loaded with funny examples of the "Habla" and experiences you can all relate to. His Spanglish translation of Gloria Gaynor's hit "I Will Survive" will have you cracking up all day. Bill is definitely one of the best comedians out there, catch him on tour if you can and get this book in the meantime. Must read!!

LMAO!!!

Very funny book! Everything Bill says about the Latino culture is so true. Will definitely put you in a good mood!

Muy pero muy buen read

Bill Santiago es el embajador al mundo de Spanglaterra. Te reirás, you'll cry, you'll learn to cambiar de velocidad en la mitad de un sentence. Como dijo el pundit Enríque Cerse, no solo vale la pena leerlo, sino que it's worth the price comprarlo.

The BEST Booko anyone can possibly leer!

This booko esta demasiado funny pero con exageración! Es increíblemente genial y le doy las gracias a Bill por haber compartido con nosotros el detalle del "Habla" con sus explicaciones locas pero useful a la vez. Sinceramente its been a long time coming. El sazón de las paginas con su everyday spanglishicity is totally off the chancla! I didn't realize how much of the Habla I actually use throughout my day! I love it, love it, love it! Definitivamente I give it DIEZ estrellas... It is a wonderful conversation starter para todos to enjoy while chilaxeando con sus panas. So get out there y compren este libro... ¡Porque Because! CHEPA

This book esta muy really good!

From start to finish this book esta muy hilarious! Bill is a genious and finds the best humor in the Spanglish culture. I loved the part where he says the Pompilates exercise video for your pompis is even more popular than the Nalgas of Steel, and I just couldn't stop laughing with his "porque because" response, among many other funny Spanglish situations. This is a must have and makes a great gift for anyone. You want to know why? Porque because.
