Dr. Blair's Spanish in No Time

Using the same device of a spy mission that characterizes the other "In No Time" language courses, Dr. Robert Blair takes a spirited romp through introductory Spanish grammar and vocabulary. Light on learning and long on entertainment, the three-hour course, if memorized, will give listeners enough tools to ask questions and navigate around an airport, restaurant, market, and hotel. It will also equip them to use a hospital emergency room after a trip to the beach. Mnemonics enable listeners to learn body parts, and Spanglish (English/Spanish combination) stories teach other vocabulary. The instructors speak clearly and slowly in both languages and infuse the numerous silly stories with appropriate inflections of humor. One can almost hear the smirks and raised eyebrows. R.L.L.
