The six worktexts, "Basic Spanish for Getting Along", "Basic Spanish for Business and Finance", "Basic Spanish for Medical Personnel", "Basic Spanish for Law Enforcement", "Basic Spanish for Social Services", and "Basic Spanish for Teachers" are communication worktexts that take the grammar learned in "Basic Spanish" and put it to use in communicating. The worktexts present realistic situations a student/learner will encounter in everyday life when needing to communicate in Spanish, and realistic situations each professional will encounter in their particular workplace, with attention to specialised vocabulary of each profession, dialogue competitions, role plays, and realia-based activities.
