Answer 2

You may want to get a Mexican Spanish phrase book. Also, you can get a great book with cd's that is easy and fun.  It is called Spanish for Gringos..and is excellent.  See site below.. If you get it...be sure to get book 1...the orange one. ...and be SURE it is the one that comes with the cd'..they are super.  For a phrase book...see the 2nd website...the best books on there are #1 and #11. Taking Spanish in school is great, but sometimes they spend a ot of time on grammar, and not much time on daily conversation.  Hope you have a great mission trip.
