How to Communicate with Spanish-Speaking Employees and Fellow Workers

Heres a truly user-friendly Spanish course for non-Spanish speakers who converse on an everyday basis with Hispanic employees and fellow workers, both in the household and at other workplaces. This new second edition keeps up with current social trends, taking into account the increasing frequency in which English speakers and Spanish speakers converse not only as employers and employees, but also as co-workers. Household Spanish is not a grammar book. You dont have to study it. Simply pick it up and use it immediately.

Features include:

  • Practical words, phrases, and Spanish expressions, all with pronunciations and translations
  • Specialized vocabulary lists, exercises, and review sections
  • Culture clues to expand your Hispanic cultural awareness
  • English-Spanish and Spanish-English dictionary
  • Quick-reference and index guide

    This updated language-learning book presents an informal, user-friendly Spanish course for non-Spanish speakers who need to learn fundamental words and expressions in Spanish in order to communicate with Latino employees in the household or workplace. This new edition keeps up with current social trends, taking into account the increasing frequency in which Anglos and Spanish-speakers converse, not only as employers and employees, but also as co-workers.

Passages in the book recreate typical scenes in household or workplace with appropriate dialogue passages. This book can also be purchased as a package that includes three audio compact discs.

It is specifically designed for non-Spanish speakers who need to learn fundamental words and expressions in Spanish in order to communicate with Latino employees in the household or workplace. Rather than emphasize dry rules of grammar, author William Harvey teaches informal, idiomatic conversational Spanish. Both the book and the compact discs recreate typical scenes in household or workplace with appropriate dialogue passages. The compact discs, which may be used independently of the book, can also be purchased as a separate item.
