Concise Bilingual Dictionary of Special Idioms, Phrases and Word Combinations: Diccionario Bilingüe Y Conciso De Giros, Modismos Y Frases Especiales Eduardo González Spanish, Bilingual edition

This dictionary constitutes a valuable little gem in the fields of bilingualism, translation, folklore and communication across cultures: All entries are presented, explained and translated in English and in Spanish; It goes from recording Afro-Cuban traits to depicting deeply rooted Hispanic customs and traditions. A very special feature is that it facilitates the English speaker's comprehension of those aspects that are idiosyncratic to other cultures. This work also contributes to a better understanding of the Cuban Spanish variant, sometimes surprisingly close to that from Spain and other Central, South and Caribbean Spanish-speaking countries. This appealing dictionary will hopefully contribute to a better understanding not only between Spanish and English speakers but also among speakers of the Spanish language.
