Spanish for Greenhouse Supervisors - New Edition -
Do you have Spanish speaking workers?
Can you communicate with your Latino employees? Even if you are taking a
formal Spanish class, your books and tapes probably don't cover the
terminology we use in floriculture. Now, OSU Extension offers a very
inexpensive collection of common words and phrases used in floriculture in
an easy-to-use CD format.
Spanish for Greenhouse Supervisors
includes practical sentences using many words common in the floriculture
workplace. The vocabulary is especially helpful for workers who are new to
floriculture. It is NOT meant to be comprehensive. It is not a grammar
text. It is not meant to replace any other formal means of learning
Spanish. It is a supplement that complements traditional learning
programs.
Spanish for Greenhouse Supervisors can
be a lifesaver for any greenhouse grower who unexpectedly supervises
Spanish speaking workers without ever having had any formal Spanish
language training. The text is divided into sections. Each section
corresponds to a CD track making it easy to find words and sentences of
interest. It is suggested that the user first locate the word of interest
in the English text which is paired with its Spanish language equivalent.
Then the user can listen to the pronunciation of that word in Spanish on
the corresponding track of the CD.
In Extension, we hope these materials
will help greenhouse supervisors and growers to improve communication,
hence productivity, and reduce frustrations due to poor communication. If
you are interested in buying this useful tool, please contact Janis Cripe
at 614-292-1607 to order the CD. The introductory cost is only $5.00 plus
shipping and handling and tax.
