As an American, this book is super helpful for learning Mexican Spanish. I've taken some Spanish classes and this is a really good refresher plus great for learning phrases actually spoken from a native speaker. Most textbooks/apps/etc. focus on Spain so this is a wonderful book to actually teach real phrases and build more confidence to communicate.
