Spanish Idioms

Excellent small book! Easy to find phrases and an absolute must for the serious spanish student. Barron's is a trusted resource.

Great reference book!

This is a very good reference book and will serve just about anyone in an academic setting. The downside of this guide is that it tends to shy away from vulgar idiomatic expressions, so don't look to this guide to help you through your day to day conversations overseas...

Cream of the Crop: Spanish Idioms

This book is THE BOOK to consult when it comes to Spanish idioms. It is the best among all others. The book is very well organized; alphabetically, guide words appear at the top of the page and for each word, there is an English translation and after that appear idioms that contain that word. There is an English translation for each idiom, and each idiom is used in a Spanish sentence, which is also then translated in English. At the end there is a list of common English idioms, with a Spanish equivalent and the page where it is found. It is a steal!
