Hi! Just found the blog, but I enjoyed the book a great deal. It was very useful during the year I spent in Chile, for slang both big and small, filthy and commonplace. I recall thinking of one thing that would have made it more useful - maybe too much for y'all to undertake, but: it was great when I heard a word I didn't understand. Not so great for trying to figure out a colloquial way to say what I wanted to say. A really cool thing would be if you could use an English->Chilean, Chilean->English format, like a dictionary. Then I could be like, "Hm, I want to say this totally kicks ass, how would a Chilean say that?" and flip right to it. In any case, thanks for the book!
Hello!
I´m a Chilean living in Germany and a heard about this book a couple of years ago, back in Chile. Sometimes for me is difficult to express myself trying to literally translate some dichos into english, but the book makes a great job doing this and I also recommend it to people visiting Chile, because our spanish is anything but the spanish thought on language courses.
I also agree to the dictionary-like format, I think it would be a more functional format for quick translations.
Saludos
I'm a translator in Chile, and the book really helps out when you are trying to say something from CL-SP to EN.
"¡Está la raja!"
Buen libro, aunque está en Inglés. Creo que los mismos chilenos lo necesitan a veces. Saludos desde Chile.

bye friend!
Hi! I'm a Chilean living in NY and I read your 1st edition book years ago. Now I just bought the last version from Amazon and an extra copy on your website. It's great! I find it the perfect gift for my American friends that want to visit Chile.
I have a suggestion for you. I think that the cartoons that you added in the last version are hilarious, so wouldn't it be a great idea to make the whole book with comics about the Chilean sayings? You can also sell posters about the most popular ones.
Congratulations!
I am going to Chile for the first time next month and this book should prove to be invaluable. Imagine that the Chilenos have a different word, or two or three, for the parts of the body! More cartoons would be great.
I received the book before coming to chile. I read it, and could not wrap my head around any of the contexts, especially of those in the 'weon' section. Now that I have been in Chile for 9 months, I can open that book up and get a great laugh, as well as some needed perspective at times. The chileans always get a kick out of hearing the gringo say some of the dichos, especially in the very begining of my stay. Estoy que corta las huinchas ver las camisetas q tienen los dichos!! saludos
where can you find this book? i can't find it on any common bookstore website like barnes and noble, borders, or amazon. can you find it in chile?
please email me at zanusa01@luther.edu if you know the response. thanks.
i have heard this book is wonderful and very invaluable to those like myself who are traveling abroad. i am so glad there is a decipher for the chilean lingo.
Hi, this book is hilarious, and I love the comics! I gave the book to my boyfriend that comes from Spain...and he also has troubles sometimes understanding the chilean language. We were laughing a lot reading the book in a bar in NYC! Congratulations!
El libro es la raja!
