Welcome to Survival Spanish for Library Staff.  Survival Spanish for Library Staff was an all-day workshop Infopeople developed to provide library staff with basic skills for communicating with Spanish-speaking patrons.

Now the essential words and phrases taught in the workshop have been integrated into easy to digest sections that are structured so that you can practice at your own pace, whenever you want, for as long as you want! These tracks are designed for individual use, but are suitable for group practice, too!

Another great option you can try is Mango Language’s Spanish for Librarians tutorial (note: you or your library will need a subscription to Mango to access this tutorial).

You can also download a zipped file that contains audio files and a PDF script (zipped file size 62MB) for listening at a later time on the player of your choice. Enjoy!

Start with Basic Vocabulary A-B to begin the tutorial.
