This Website was built to support farm employers in learning Spanish, based on a desire to better communicate with their Spanish-speaking employees. The project is based on the following principles:
  1. Provide tools that will help farmers learn Spanish naturally. Focus on learning by first listening.
  2. Focus on learning by repeating after native Spanish-speakers.
  3. Preserve the correct use of the Spanish language.
  4. Avoid the use of slang of "Spanglish".
  5. Where several correct words are available, provide those used in México.
  6. Where several correct words are available, provide words of more universal usage.
  7. Provide a neutral sounding (audio) Spanish that avoids regional accents.
