Survival Spanish® Audio CD Topics

These 2 FREE United Nations quality audio learning CDs are produced and narrated by Senior Trooper Bob Dent and Dr. Frank O'Hearn.  They are in the most common dialect of Spanish and field tested for authenticity.  These self-improvement audio CDs eliminate the need to mentally conjugate verbs during high stress situations confronting public safety professionals. They follow specific sections of the Spanish manual and each phrase is repeated for practical exercises with useful shortcuts to aid learning.

To insure the highest level of realism and accuracy, the terms have been compiled by the most highly respected trainers in the public safety arena. The CDs are recorded by internationally known, former United Nations interpreter Dr. Frank O’Hearn, who speaks 8 languages and is the former Vice President of Berlitz Languages, Latin American Division. Dr. O’Hearn has interpreted for such notables as President Nixon, Elizabeth II of England and Henry Kissinger.  He also interpreted one of the Adolf Eichmann interviews for the U.S. State Department.
