Spanish for Real Estate is designed for real estate agents, mortgage loan officers, or anybody else working in the real estate industry who are wanting to better communicate with their Spanish-speaking clients. The course picks up where Spanish Fundamentals leaves off and provides you with vocabulary specifically for real estate. These two courses together will give you a solid vocabulary base to draw from in order to bridge the communication gap with the Spanish-speakers in your community.
Each lesson is organized as follows:
- Pronunciation: See a completed list, with the phonetic pronunciation, of all of the new vocabulary words.
- Learn: Listen to a native Spanish-speaker pronounce the vocabulary words represented in images.
- Tips: Read grammar and language tips to help you build a stronger foundation in Spanish.
- Flashcards: Practice your vocabulary recall with the digital flashcards.
- Knowledge Checks: See if you are on the right track by matching terms and answering multiple choice questions.
- Practice: Ideas and prompts of how you can practice the new vocabulary in a conversational setting are provided in each lesson.
