Tico Slang

No matter whether traveling to the Republic of Costa Rica as a tourist, or with the intention of moving there as an expatriate, this guide will serve you well.

Intended for English speakers, this book's Spanish/English dictionary shares common slang words and phrases that will help you communicate in everyday situations like ordering dinner in a restaurant, shopping at the mercado for fresh produce, flirting, getting street directions, or hiring a taxi.

That said, be advised this little book is neither a complete course in learning the Spanish Language nor a textbook, Instead it is an introduction to Costa Rican Spanish.

We used a large font to make the text eminently more readable.
