This book was written by Patrick Jackson, a native New Yorker who has lived in Colombia since 2007. He has traveled to several Spanish-speaking countries to learn Spanish, including Panama, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Spain.
For the most part, he is a self-taught student of the Spanish language. In his efforts to learn Spanish and speak Spanish, he noticed that native Spanish speakers were reluctant to correct his errors. Not only in Colombia, but also in New York City, where he had many native Spanish speaking friends from the Dominican Republic.
As native English speakers, we do the same. Unless the native Spanish speaker is a child, we rarely correct native Spanish speakers when they commit errors when speaking English. Whether the unwillingness to correct others is from a feeling of indifference or a fear of offending someone, we rarely, if ever, correct them even if they are close friends.
