LEARNING SYSTEM

As a company, Red Angle was launched after answering a simple question: "If you wanted to teach construction managers — short on time, long on things to do — how to speak Spanish quickly, how would you do it?"

The Red Angle Learning System™ is based on 4 core elements. Click each icon below to learn more.

One of the more surprising things about Spanish is how many words are either identical or nearly the same as their English counterparts — we call these words Twins. Red Angle targets these words first to expand your vocabulary, create momentum and build confidence. We've written our own Construction Dictionary with 3500 terms and nearly 35% are Twins!

Academics and linguistic purists look down on Spanglish and slang.

Too bad.

We're here to get things done on time, under budget, with no injuries. Spanglish and slang are a fact of life on the job, so we teach them. We speak the language of getting things done, if that includes Spanglish and slang... So be it.
