Not great

The free sample sounded good but once you buy the class, they talk too fast and don’t repeat anything

Get the physical book, not the audio

Most of this book contains lists of common commands and the Spanish translation (in only one form, speaking formally to one person). My learning style may be different from others, but these types of lists are much easier to read and review rather than hearing once and moving on. Also, the fact that it is just lists of random commands seems to me like it would be better for training a dog than actually communicating with human people in the workplace. Don't waste a credit on this; if you actually want to learn the words and phrases used in construction, get the physical book so you can practice/review these regularly and learn to communicate with the other workers on a job site.

only 1 hour of construction spanish

half the book is beginner convo spanish. only 1 hour is actual construction spanish and is very limited. why so stingy with the actual content? biggest limitation tho is that all the verbs are conjugated for usted which is very impractical. tú is used way more in the construction world unless you live in colombia! also this audiobook is painful to listen to because the gringa speaker butchers all the spanish pronounciations and serves absolutely no purpose....and lastly both speakera are women but all the adjectivea are said in male form. SMH.
