 I cringe when she washes whites in cold water, uses the same mop to clean a patio and floors inside the house etc etc. She is a hard worker, but...  I need to improve my knowledge of household Spanish, while all courses serve me with vocabularies of extensive Spanish family connections and other things I do not have much need of. I speak with my Spanish friends in English, but need to communicate with household and garden help in Spanish, so I need related volcabulary and frazes FIRST. I am retired, and mobility impaired so I cant take care of cleaning etc by myself, while my household help needs to work.

Hi Maria 

Download on Google Spanish Translater App(STA)  on your phone or ipad etc 

You can write or speak into it an it will translate from English into Spanish brilliant app I would be lost without it

Also great way to learn Spanish as it speaks the words to you 

Hope this helps

Hi Maridoll,

Yes Maria is right. I learnt this from a Spaniard! He spoke into the Google App and then showed the English to me.

I would also suggest you download Duolingo  helps you learn Spanish easily and lets you talk your answer too. 

I find the Spanish are very grateful even if you attempt to speak their language.
