| Publisher Description: This phrasebook contains a guide to Spanish pronunciation and grammar, sample phrases and sentences arranged by topic, and a dictionary of 850 of the most commonly used words and phrases. It focuses on the dialect spoken in Cuba. The Spanish spoken in Cuba differs from that spoken in other countries in the Caribbean and South America in several ways. While it still shares the spelling of the words with other dialects, you will see some pronunciations which are distinctive particularly in the softening of consonants and some letters are silent or dropped. Since Spanish is primarily a phonetic language we are beginning to see some althernate accepted spellings emerge.
