Speaking in Spanish: This component teaches how to “say” practical, common phrases and questions in Spanish. In addition to an introductory section that deals with how to pronounce Spanish, there are 16 different language menus covering a wide variety of Spanish phrases, expressions and questions for use in everyday interactions.
Listening in Spanish: This component teaches how to comprehend many basic and common expressions and phrases used in everyday Spanish. These language menus correspond in content and sequence to the language menus in the “Speaking in Spanish” component.
Cross-Cultural Issues: This component deals with some of the most fundamental and generic, non-nationality-specific aspects of Latino culture that may be misunderstood by non-Latinos. Included are such topics as the Latino family structure, Latino demographics, and the Latino surname system.
This program prepares English-speaking people to speak and understand small amounts of general and basic Spanish found in most routine interchanges in daily life. In addition, Community Spanish: A Survival Guide for English Speakers provides basic cultural information about Spanish-speaking groups in hope of informing and educating English-speakers about unique aspects of Latino culture.
Intended Audience: Any English-speaker who wishes to learn limited amounts of everyday Spanish.
