Spanish cheat sheet for the badass gringo...

Some friends of mine were going on a trip to Costa Rica so I made them this little list of important words and phrases to get around a little easier. Then I thought that perhaps others might benifit out of reading it as well. You dont have to go to Latin America to practice either; these days I hear more Spanish on the NYC streets than english...and I love it! So enjoy the day smile and speak some espanol!

Love, me
