Review: No Work Spanish

Posted in Reviews

We live in an area where Spanish is probably spoken just as much if not more than English. Needless to say, it’s very helpful if you can communicate, even basically, in Spanish. One of the things that we’ve learned is that Spanish does not translate directly to English or vice versa.
