MEXICAN SLANG 101 Video

CABO BOB

"Cabo Bob" has been the biggest name in Spanish slang since the eighties, selling xerox-produced copies of his hip, funny slang dictionary on beaches in Baja in order to finance what passed for his life style. Since then he has written several books on Spanish and slang, but MEXICAN SLANG 101 is the most notorious, currently published in a printed version and featuring a skeleton staff.

A journalist in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Tijuana, Cabo Bob became intimately familiar with the charming and seamy sides of the Mexican vernacular.

Perhaps the true measure of ol' Bob are the testimonies of other Gringo experts on Mexico:

This guy has really led a wasted life, probably hanging out in pool halls (and worse!), if his book is any indication. But heck, he is a great, interesting guy! If you would like to have the benefit of his experience without having to consort with the lower elements of society, you really should buy this book!

The writing is skillful and entertaining and the author's translations are "right on".
