Launch of ‘Spanish Phrasebook on Podcast,’ a Hands-on Phrasebook on Mp3

Los Angeles, CA, March 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- This new series joins their other two successful podcasts ‘Spanish Podcasts for Beginners’ and ‘Spanish Vocabulary Flashcards’. Like those two, the new podcast has been written by Maria Fernandez, an experienced native Spanish teacher. All three series have been recorded by native Spanish speakers with clear explanations in English, and come with a transcript in interactive multimedia pdf.

The new ‘Spanish Phrasebook on Podcast’ is described as ‘a practical guide for travelers wanting to get by’. It has been designed for those who want to learn enough Spanish fast and easily, without having to go through the grammar, and without having to learn vocabulary that users will not need in their vacation.

The free Unit 1 can now be downloaded from http://www.spanish-bookworld.com/spanish-phrasebook-on-podcast.html. The 17-minute podcast focuses on eating out and has six sections: eating places and meals, ingredients and produce, tapas and other local dishes, how to put together the words learned so far, conversations at the restaurant, and tips on how to communicate successfully in Spanish.

Over the next few weeks and months Spanish Bookworld will add new units to this podcast which will include: transport, drinks, accommodation, numbers, shopping, sightseeing, traveling with children, money, asking for directions, help for the disabled, health issues, and many other relevant topics.

Like all podcasts produced by Spanish Bookworld, this one too comes with an interactive multimedia transcript in pdf. This new-generation pdf works on all computers, like any other, but it also allows the user to hear the Spanish words and sentences when they are clicked on. To help users learn more efficiently, they can also type in their own notes in the pdf and save them for future reference.

‘Spanish Phrasebook on Podcast’ has been carefully planned and written to contain the most useful everyday words, questions and answers, thus serving as a hands-on phrasebook that travelers can take with them abroad, and listen to on their mp3 players.

iPhone users can also read the pdfs on their devices.

The idea of creating ‘Spanish Phrasebook on Podcast’ was conceived by Maria Fernandez while traveling in Japan. There, she saw the potential for a spoken phrasebook that could be stored in any mp3 player. The resulting product is a highly practical guide that allows the user not only to hear the most commonly used Spanish words, questions and answers, but also to build his/her own sentences through invaluable learning tips.
