No-Work Spanish {Review & Giveaway!} CLOSED

Living in the agriculture industry, it is inevitable that we come into contact with Spanish speaking people.  If they don't speak any English we have a difficult time communicating with them, and this is especially challenging if they are one of our employees!  Needless to say, none of us speak Spanish very well.  Hubby and I both took Spanish in high school, and while I could read and write it quite well, speaking it was a whole nother story!  When I was given the chance to review No-Work Spanish Audio books, I thought this might be a great way to learn a little better and also get my kids started hearing it while they are still young enough to learn it more easily.  No-Work Spanish are audio books that are stories read first in English and then in Spanish.  This is done so that your mind can connect the English and Spanish without thinking about it.  After each chapter is read in both languages it is then read in just Spanish to help reinforce it. 
We received the books Yaks March on Washington and Poster Girl for review.  The first time I listened to them was really hard.  I didn't get anything out of it and couldn't understand any of the Spanish!  I thought, there is absolutely no way I am going to learn anything from this!  But Anne from No-Work Spanish let me know that this happens often the first time and will get easier and easier the more you listen to it.  And she was right! I've listened a few more times and have picked up a few of the phrases.  I am much more of a visual learner however and found it very helpful to print out the words, which are found on the CD or on their site.  My hubby and kids have also listened to them several times and seem to be picking up a few things as well.  Hopefully when we start some Spanish for homeschool, this will make it a little easier for the kids to catch on to it.  I'm not sure I personally could learn Spanish solely from the No-Work Spanish audio books, but I think they are a great addition to what I already know and will help with speaking Spanish and not just reading and writing it.
