my wife is new to this country, and her english is minimal at most. Although I think she will pick it up at a pretty good pace. Her native language is spanish, she wants to work, and she has applied at diffrent places but she does'nt get the job because she does'nt know english.

Hey, I don't mean this to be lowering her standards,, but house cleaning can be a very good income if your in the right area...Iam a retired machinist and my wife is from Colombia..she has a degree but won't be accepted in the U.S. so she and I work together cleaning houses and can make $100-$250 a day..we do good work, are perfectionist and don't bow to anyone..we have made a reputation that we are the best..window cleaning is part of it, but seperate.. go for it and you or her can do very well.. don't back off or be intiminated..you can do it and do it well..god bless and we are thinking of you...

My sister-in-law only knew spainsh so I know what she is going through. Tell her that a lot of the churchs give free lessons in learning to speak English.

On the job issue ---
Go to the link below and keep checking -- In the Source and Target field put Spanish.

The Church again is a good resource in helping her find a job.

I don't know where you live but see if there is a hispanic paper and get it as well.

I hope this helps.

The only job I know of, where I assume you don't have to know English, is in Sydney driving a cab! I have never found a cab where the driver speaks understandable English! Have a good day.

Is this a serious question? Haven't you seen the stereotypes for Mexican immigrants who don't speak English?
