Learn to communicate effectively with your Spanish speaking help in just 5 hours!

Have you always wanted to learn Spanish but never found the time or the right teacher?

Are you having trouble communicating with your Spanish speaking help?

Did you study Spanish in school but find yourself unable to construct even simple sentences in Spanish?

This book is for homemakers in need of a Spanish beginners or refresher course.

Due to our unique method of teaching, you will be amazed at how much Spanish you will learn and retain in just five hours!

What makes this Spanish course special?

Efficient Learning

Our breakthrough method allows you to retain most if not all of what you learn and immediately put it to use. The key is interactivity: Instead of making you repeat words and sentences, you are encouraged to think and apply what you learned. Using the words and concepts you learn throughout the course, you will build Spanish sentences and translate Spanish sentences into English right from the start. The course also makes use of the many similarities between English and Spanish so you can associate new Spanish words with English words you already know.

Relevance

You'll learn relevant words and sentences that you can put to use immediately. This will allow you to reinforce what you've learned through real life practice and motivate you to complete the course.

Speed

This course only takes about five hours to complete. Many people buy expensive Spanish courses and never find the time to complete the course. But you should be able to find five hours. Even if you only study for half an hour each day, you'll be done in a little more than a week!

Fun

Learning should be fun and rewarding. It is hard to describe the pleasure you experience when you manage to construct complete sentences in Spanish after just half an hour into the course. In addition, the course is peppered with quotes and anecdotes, keeping the learning fun and exciting.

Practical and Amazing

I honestly did not know what to expect when I bought this book. We have a Spanish speaking maid (from Guatemala) and two kids and I was having a really hard time giving her instructions or understanding what she was saying.
I searched for a Spanish book for homemakers on Amazon and stumbled upon this book. It's offered both as kindle and as audio book and I thought audio made more sense for me, as I can listen to it while working in the kitchen.
So I thought I'd buy this book and give it try.
Frankly, I'm blown away!! I never thought learning Spanish could be so easy!
After just one half hour into the course, I was already talking in Spanish and the maid seemed to understand everything I was saying.
It took longer for me to understand what the maid was saying, because she obviously uses a larger vocabulary, but as I progress more thru the course, I'm starting to understand more and more.
The course does not put too much emphasis on sounding like a native, only as far as is needed to be understood.
The best part is how each word is introduced in a way that makes it easy to remember.

More effective than 4 years of High School Spanish

Would you listen to Spanish for the Busy Housewife again? Why?

I've already started listening to it again. I feel like it was so informative and helpful, and I want to go back and get more out of it. Just listening to this one book taught me more than 4 years of Spanish language in High School.

My Favourite Audible Purchase

If you could sum up Spanish for the Busy Housewife in three words, what would they be?

Fantastic, simple, intuitive.

What does Hadassah Davids bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If you've tried to learn Spanish before, this audio is a fantastic way to help you to recall what you learned before. It teaches in a very simple and effective way. I found myself remembering Spanish words and grammar that I thought I'd forgotten years ago.My girlfriend has just started a degree in Spanish, and this simple audio is a great introduction for her, as it teaches exactly what you need to know and helps you to actually use the language rather than memorise it. It's already helped my girlfriend to better understand in a simple way some of the more complex teachings in her degree books.Highly recommended. Hopefully the author will publish more of these 5 hour Spanish courses in the near future.

Easier to learn Spanish than I thought it would be

Would you consider the audio edition of Spanish for the Busy Housewife to be better than the print version?

If you are going to learn a language you need an audio edition.....

What other book might you compare Spanish for the Busy Housewife to and why?

I've tried several other Spanish courses. This one suits me best. It helps you learn in a sensible and structured way. The author and the presenter have both done an amazing job.

What about Hadassah Davids’s performance did you like?

Hadassah speaks very clearly and has a pleasant way of presenting the material. She is absolutely at home in both English and Spanish.

Any additional comments?

If you need lessons in Spanish to use at home, this book should be your first choice.
