Summary

No-Work Spanish is a brand-new concept. The story is read with each sentence said first in English, then in Spanish. You will find your mind connects the English and Spanish, just like you can pause a favorite song and sing the next line, without thinking about it and certainly without making any effort to memorize the words in the song. After a chapter has been read in English and Spanish, it is repeated in Spanish, to reinforce the Spanish version in the listener's mind. No-Work Spanish stories are available on CD's or as audio downloads. They vary in length from 50 minutes to about an hour and 45 minutes.

Author Biography

A children's author who found herself bored with foreign language learning CD's, Anne Emerick wondered if a story read both in English and Spanish could be used as a method of learning Spanish. To find out she paid to have some of her stories translated, preformed and recorded. The experiment succeeded and the result were No-Work Spanish audiobooks.
