Summary

Packed with slang words, phrases and expressions not found in any textbook, this fun-to-read handbook teaches the casual, everyday language heard in the cafes, bars and streets of Spanish speaking countries. No one actually speaks the formal Spanish taught in school, which makes this book a must have for anyone looking to chat with the locals without sounding like a robot. Published as an attractive, small trim hardcover, this handy phrasebook makes the perfect gift for travelers and students who want to fill the gap between the Spanish they are learning in class and what is really spoken in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and other Spanish speaking countries.
Available since: 10/10/2017.

    Someday, your life story is likely to be boiled down to a few lines. If you leave things to chance, your obituary is almost sure to be solemn, formulaic, and full of errors—an obligatory final chapter written in haste by others. James R. Hagerty, longtime obit writer for The Wall Street Journal, knows how to get the job done right: Do it yourself, starting now, while you still can.In this heartfelt and reassuring guide, Hagerty explains how to preserve your personal history—from crafting a brief obituary for newspapers and websites, to a more thoughtful and detailed mini-memoir for those close to you. Through his personal stories, on-the-job anecdotes, and insights, you will learn what to include, what to leave out, and how to provide historical context, record oral histories, and make the most of details, all with candor and wit. Best of all, you'll find that reviewing your life story helps you think about what you're doing with your time on Earth and whether you're on the right path. It isn't too late to improve the narrative with a stronger ending.Telling your story your way can be the best gift you ever give to friends and loved ones—and yourself.

    Finally, you can read in Russian with less frustration, anger and tears! 
      
    You have been learning Russian for a while now. Used a language app (or five). Watched a few YouTube instructional videos. Even took a few private online lessons with a tutor. 
      
    You want to read in Russian, but finding appropriate material is difficult. 
      
    The solution is not to dumb down the text, but to shorten it. Way shorter. Think 2 minute movie trailer instead of 2 hour full length movie. 
      
    This way, you get the benefit of feeling accomplished about finishing the text and increasing your vocabulary, but in a fraction of the time. 
      
    To this end, this book features 11 tiny tales, each of them only a couple of pages. They range from a police officer in a cheesy romance, to a supernatural encounter in the office, to a space captain who lost all his men fighting alien insects. 
      
    This is followed by a much longer fantasy story about a knight and a priest saving the world from shadow demons. Each chapter follows the same short length format.
