The Spanish Supplement for Secretaries is designed to aid secretaries employed in the foreign affairs community and assigned to positions in Spanish-speaking countries. The manual covers special expressions for office work and is therefore not intended as the primary language text, but rather as ancillary material.

The Supplement consists of eleven units, two preliminary ones covering cardinal numbers and the alphabet, followed by nine practice units having the following format:

  • I - a short dialogue.
  • II - a series of questions on the dialogue.
  • III - a narrative exercise on the dialogue.
  • IV - substitution exercises based on the dialogue Parts I and IV are recorded.

The last section of this Supplement contains a list of all the words presented in the nine practice units. In full-time training courses, at the Foreign Service Institute the Supplement is introduced during the second week of study and is used for one hour per day.
