Frequently Asked Questions

THE CONSTRUCTION SPANISH TOOLBOX OVERVIEW

  • It’s a language learning system built for the job site.

    Participants start with a 6-week course—choosing one of three programs: Construction Spanish, Paint Spanish, or Safety Spanish—then transition into 6 months of access to The Construction Spanish App.

    The course teaches you the basics. The app takes it further with niche modules, pop culture references, and daily 5-minute refreshers.

  • Construction professionals who want to build trust, solve problems, and get the job done faster by speaking Spanish confidently on site. No prior Spanish experience required.

  • $359.95 for individuals. Discounts available for groups of 50+—we like helping big teams learn together.

    • 6-week course (your choice: Construction, Paint, or Safety Spanish)

    • 6 months of full access to The Construction Spanish App

  • Umm, no. Your instructor Bradley Hartmann is damn good, but he's not a magician. Fluency of any language is a long-term goal and requires a ton of time, energy, and attention. Construction Spanish, the way we teach it, can be acquired and spoken on the job quickly by making all the content relevant, entertaining, and brief.

  • From Day 1. Some language instructors believe students must build up sufficient knowledge and practice over weeks or months prior to speaking. To that we quietly say a few swear words in Spanish under our breath . . . and then inform those instructors this is construction and we need to communicate now.

  • No. If you took French in high school because that's what all your friends did (bad move) or Latin because your mother told you it would help you on your SATs (good move), that's OK. We regularly help absolute beginners in Spanish start speaking Construction Spanish in the first week.

THE 6-WEEK COURSES (CONSTRUCTION, PAINT, OR SAFETY SPANISH)

  • Six weeks, Monday through Friday. Each day takes about 15 minutes.

  • You get a daily email with a 4–6 minute video. Watch it, do the workbook exercises, and boom—you’re learning Spanish. You'll also get:

    • Drive-time audio

    • Flashcard app

    • Real conversations

  • Individuals can start whenever they want. Group courses begin together on a Monday for shared momentum. Either way, we recommend sticking to the daily rhythm of one lesson per day.

  • Check out each course page to learn more about the topics covered in each course.
