By Terry Eddy, Alberto Herrera
When construction managers need
to talk about the specifics of a construction job – where the
electrical outlets need to go, when the framing will be completed,
how a plumbing problem will be solved – they need to be able to
communicate clearly and effectively with workers. That task gets
considerably more difficult when managers and workers are speaking
in different languages.
More than simple dictionary
terms or phrases, managers need a tool for understanding the basics
of the language their workers use – a resource that lets them
communicate the myriad of questions, issues, schedules, and tasks
that come up on a construction job. Learning Construction
Spanglish is exactly the tool they need.
This book offers up: •
Communication tools – a method for understanding the basics of
Spanglish – not just dictionary terms. • Practical, useful
on-the-job terms and phrases. • Logical organization that makes info
fast and easy to find. • Both English/Spanish and Spanish/English
glossaries.
