What the Readers Are Saying

Learning Tango? This is the book to take with you to Argentina

(YunKi)

If you are going to Buenos Aires with the purpose of enhancing your knowledge of Tango, this is the book to bring with you. The bulk of the book is a typical phrase book, covering the essential phrases you’ll need to survive in and around activities related to tango. However, this book offers more, it also acts as a guide book and provides suggestions for other essential things such as getting around, shopping, payment and other practical tips. Another important section is the comparison between Spanish spoken in Spain and Spanish spoken in Argentina. Who knew there were so many differences?

This book is not (and does not advertise itself to be) a book about learning Spanish. It does not go into depth about grammar, pronunciation and so on. There are many other titles that do this and if you were going to Argentina with the sole purpose of learning tango, you probably don’t have time or desire to get everything correct.

Like all phrase books, it is often difficult to structure the phrases in a way that makes it easy for readers to remember what they’ve read. There’s a ton of phrases in the book but no easy way to memorise them. Hopefully I’ll remember the phrases when I need to use them in Buenos Aires.

The book is not heavy reading, if you’re a last minute person like myself, you can read it several times on the flight over to Argentina.

It is a KEEPER!

(Eddie Chiu)

What I like about this book is that it doesn’t try to overwhelm the readers with a lot of information. Instead it relates only the essentials, rather comprehensive really, for an enjoyable and safe trip to Buenos Aires. Written by a tanguera for the community, I am more than happy to add that to my tango collection.
