Customer Reviews:
Jobs Around My Neighborhood.......2006-08-09
I really liked that this book included many of the jobs that occur in real life. When you are learning to speak another language, there are many words and phrases that are overlooked, but that in reality are the most important. "Jobs Around My Neighborhood" included jobs such as barbers, bus drivers, doctors, and grocers- all of these are words that can be used easily in every-day life and this book made learning the words very easy, especially for children who see bus drivers, teachers, and mail men every day! The guide in the back helped me a lot to see how the actual word was pronounced so that I can use it and teach others to use it as well.

Customer Reviews:
Very basic, but good!.......2007-06-08
This book contains quite a few useful words and phrases that are helpful regarding communicating with Spanish-speaking employees. There are categories/chapters to help us English-only people find the words/phrases we want to say quickly. The transliteration is good. For example, the verb "to work" is "trabajar". The book will show you that it is pronounced "trah-bah-HAHR". For the price, it's a good buy if you know little or no Spanish and you want some basic communication skills in that language. It's a small book -- almost fits in your pocket!
This book is very useful for simple comunication........1999-09-21
"Spanish on the Job" is just the right book for simple word for word comunication. It is the perfect tool for Contractors, landscapers and homeowners. It gives concise on the job terms with their translations and an easy to use phonetic pronunciation guide for each word. With a minmum of effort you will be able to determine the price of a job, ask someone to mow the lawn or make sure they wash the dishes carefully. This is not meant to replace a good English - Spanish dictionary but fills the need for simple comunication terms useful in our changing population.

Book Description
This new tool is designed to facilitate communication among Spanish- and English-speaking construction communities--improving quality of performance and job-site safety. It features the most common words and phrases used in the construction industry with easy-to-follow pronunciations. Extensive building systems and tools illustrations make this publication a unique and valuable reference.
The dictionary includes: English-to-Spanish translations Spanish-to-English translations Phonetic pronunciations Useful on-the-job phrases Unit conversion factors and tables Illustrated sections of tools and equipment for each trade
An essential tool for contractors, construction workers, architects, building officials, and students in apprenticeship and training programs.
This book is a collaboration with the International Conference of Building Officials, who extensively researched the most-needed terms, as well as with Rolf Jensen & Associates, noted building code consultants.
Customer Reviews:
Some fluff, little substance.......2005-04-10
Substance is minimal. The terminology is not day-to-day but technical and geared to projects with many trades and workers. Hopefully, somebody is not referring to this book to explain to a worker the technical details of a fire sprinkler system, but, there are about 15 entries for various types of fire sprinklers. Unfortunately, there is not consistent detail for all trades - the book would (should?) then be ten times as thick.
If you are seeking something to help you and one or two house construction laborers communicate, this isn't it.
There are 107 pages of straight English-Spanish word conversions, in very large type, the "S" pages averaged 15 per page, so you're getting about 1,600 words, many of which are repetitive.
Many words have two translations, but no help as to which to use.
These 107 pages are just as easily found in any on-line translation dictionary.
The 5 pages of "useful phrases" were helpful - again, geared towards a large construction site where your normal translator is on vacation and you have to fill in. BUT, ONLY 5 pages.
Tools span (span = luz, or vano, or claro, wonder which will convey my meaning) 7 pages and would have been a great place for illustrations, but no.
The illustrations are meager and not particularly helpful. The sketches on the cover are not included in the book - deceitful advertising. My first grader's illustrated spanish-english dictionary with one page devoted to a jobsite was more helpful.
Save your money. Don't spend it on this.
Just a few of the words I hoped to find, but didn't:
Deep, dirt, driveway, fill, place, pour, smooth, soak...
Very deficient in verbs.
A note to R. S. Means, who's books, guides, and standards I have used for decades - pull this book off the shelf and start over, you are damaging what used to be a good name.
Potable Water?.......2002-10-08
Potable Water is the proper construction term and that is what it is known as industry wide. This is a construction dictionary not a slang dictionary. I am buying it!
Don't bother sending for this one........2001-11-23
Just in looking at the sample pages I decided this book was not worth sending for. A good example is "Agua Potable".....translated to "Potable water" in English. Ask the typical American for Potable Water and 9 out of 10 people won't know what you're talking about. Ask those same people for Drinking Water and you'll get a response.
The translations are very poor, and obviously not done by a native English speaker.
