You want to be able to actually use what you learn today, and not spend months and years, toiling over countless grammatical “rules,” and regulations. They do apply, but they tend to frustrate people to where they often want to stop learning. Learning Spanish is achievable for native English speakers and it should be fun, not stressful.

About the Book
Step into a new world of learning, in which the journey itself is actually fun and exciting! The Gringa has taken a somewhat “non traditional” approach toward teaching the Spanish language to English speakers. In doing so, she pioneered a system, The Gringa Way, which allows learners to translate their English thoughts into Spanish thoughts and sentences. This total “new approach” not only makes the language much easier to learn and understand but it transforms what many thought was “impossible” and makes it completely achievable. Many people have been totally overwhelmed by the “strict rules” and vast grammatical differences they discovered when trying the “old" and “traditional” methods of learning usable Spanish – so they quit – saying it is simply way too hard and frustrating. With The Gringa Way method and the help of this book, you will be speaking Spanish easier than you ever thought possible.
