    Learn 1,000 Spanish Words – Without Memorization! 
    Did you know that you need only 1,000 Spanish words to understand 76 percent of all Spanish nonfiction writing, 79.6 percent of all fiction, and a whopping 87.8 percent of all spoken Spanish conversations? 
    Now you can take a shortcut to Spanish vocabulary by learning 1,000 of the most common Spanish words covering 26 themes – with no need for rote memorization. All you need is six to seven minutes per day to listen to audio drills. The exercises will teach you 20 to 25 Spanish words each day through a repetition method designed to help you grasp the words naturally. 
    Pronounce Common Spanish Words the Right Way 
    The drills are narrated by a Spanish speaker and guaranteed to help you learn and practice correct pronunciation of the language as it is spoken by native speakers today. Each word is spoken first in Spanish at normal speed, followed by its English translation, and then one more time in Spanish but spoken at a slower speed. 
    Highly Convenient and Effective 
    Each daily session lasts for six to seven minutes and is very easy to follow. You can listen to the drills practically anywhere – during your commute, while driving, while running, while doing chores, or during any free time you have. 
    The words are divided into 26 themes, making it easier for you to focus on the topics you are most interested in. 
    As supplementary material, a PDF document comes with the purchase of the audiobook. You can follow along to the text in both Spanish and English as you listen to the audio.
