Book Description

the most complete and up-to-date bilingual business dictionary available—over 80,000 entries

¿Habla español?/ Do you speak Spanish?

¿Habla inglés? / Do you speak English?

¿Habla de negocios? / Do you speak business?

The business world has a language all its own. Accounting, finance, banking, real estate, insurance, and other business-related fields have specialized terminology. As more and more English-speaking professionals do business with Spanish-speaking professionals, and vice versa, the ability to speak "business" in both languages is essential.

This authoritative, comprehensive reference helps bridge the language gap for professionals conducting business in both Spanish and English with:

This is a reference business professionals will rely on again and again because in today's global marketplace, companies can't afford to let language barriers be business barriers.

2 out of 5 stars Unappropriate but comprehensive.......2007-10-10

This is a jargon Spanish-English Dictionary with good coverage of business terms. However, the reality is that Spanish-speaking countries often use different terms for the same concept. To be useful, such a dictionary, in addition to just translating a term to the other language, should offer a brief definition, enough for a person to know if the term means what he wants to say. In the case that different terms exist for the same concept, it would be very helpful if the dictionary specified the country or countries that use each specific term. From the English side, which I am not familiar with, it could be that UK, Australia and the US have different terms too.. A dictionary that did not deal with such realities should better be called a Mexican Spanish-US English Dictionary..

5 out of 5 stars Sin dudas, el mejor.......2007-01-11

Soy economista, por mi profesion suelo leer bastante libros y diarios, especificamente de economia y en ingles, tambien poseo varios diccionarios financieros pero los mismos son muy incompletos.
Lo considero el mejor, por que casi no hay un termino economico que no lo contenga. Con anterioridad a la compra, he tenido que recurrir a otros y muchas veces los terminos buscados no estaban.
Sin lugar dudas, mas alla de lo economico de su precio, por su contenido es el mejor.

5 out of 5 stars Vastly superior to anything else out there!.......2006-05-10

For my work as business translator I have bought every bilingual English-Spanish business dictionary published for almost 25 years now. Previous purchases included Wiley's English-Spanish, Spanish-English Business Dictionary by the same author, and The Oxford Spanish Business Dictionary. Even though the Oxford dictionary claims to have over 50,000 entries, and the Wiley dictionary 40,000, the Wiley dictionary was in reality much larger.

These were the dictionaries I used the most. The rest I had practically never looked at. For several years these two dictionaries helped me get my job done, but as each year went by more and more terms I needed were not there. Terms such as those in electronic commerce and business theory, to name a couple.

Happily, a few months ago Webster's New World English-Spanish/Spanish-English Business Dictionary was published, and now I have access to over 80,000 entries and over 100,000 translations! Its 2006 publication date insures that it is completely current, and amazon lets you see sample content right on this page. If you go to the Wiley website you can see the entire letter a in the English to Spanish section. I suggest going there and seeing for yourself how much you can find there, and then coming back here to buy it, as it is about $13 cheaper here.

It is clear that this will be the only English-Spanish business dictionary I will need for years to come! Check out the sample content and see for yourself if you agree!

4 out of 5 stars Very good and educational.......2007-04-18

This is a very good book. We used it in our large organization during our Spanish classes and the book was well received.

3 out of 5 stars Good basic Spanish book.......2006-03-27

This books is a good book, but it's not a great book. The way the author chose to organize the book doesn't make sense. Some basic things that we should learn first are left until later, such as family and the names of each family member (ie. madre, padre, nino, nina, hermano, etc.). The book also has all these exercises that asks us questions and asks us to ask questions, but didn't really teach us how to ask questions. We doesn't get a formal introduction on how to use words like "Quien", "Donde", "Que", etc.

Positives of this book include: Vocabulary that is used in each chapter is usually listed in the beginning of each chapter, good and clear explanations of the grammar it does cover, and lots of exercises for practical practice.

Another quirk of this book is that it's written as if someone who's Espanol (Spain-ish) wrote it for an audience dealing with Mexicans. So, it would use vocabulary and tell us "cultural notes" that are not how Mexicans speak or write. My Spanish teacher has to tell us from time to time that certain vocabulary words are not used in Mexico and will give us the words that are used regularly. I was especially puzzled when the author put in a food menu with all the prices, dollars and cents, separated by a comma instead of a period.

Outside of a few quirks, the clarity and ease of understanding make this a good book for those learning Spanish for the first time or want a review if you haven't taken Spanish in a while. I would recommend this book.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Tool for Continuing Spanish Education.......2006-03-23

This book is very easy to work with and gives the reader the opportunity to pace themselves at their Spanish study. Exercises are thourough and answers are provied in the back of the book for those studying at home or for lesiure.

I only wish I had been able to acquire the most recent edition of the book.

5 out of 5 stars A Teacher's Dream.......2005-11-30

I got this book as part of an adult education course I was teaching at a community college and, after having studied Spanish for years, this is the best text I have seen... period. It has all the basics covered, and covered well. It is thorough and concise. It does not go into a lot of unnecessary material, but sticks to what is necessary to communicate well. It consistently reinforces previous lessons and packs a tremendous amount of learning and exercise into a small amount of homework. The examples chosen are easily digested and make teaching wonderful. My students gave rave reviews of the material and I cannot recommmend it highly enough. As will all language texts, it is the student's responsibility to pack in the vocabulary on their own, but the base grammar is all here and extremely well presented. I would take an old edition of this book over any other new texts available. These are the best.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent place to begin.......2001-04-16

Basic Spanish Grammar is an excellent starting point for one who wants to begin learning the spanish language, or is in need of a refresher course. I recently enrolled in a conversational spanish course and this book was one of the two texts used in class.

All of the exercises contained within the book are written in a clear manner which makes them easy to understand. Basic concepts which I hadn't thought of in about 15 years since my last spanish class came back very quickly and I was able to expand upon my previous knowledge at a much quicker pace than I would have thought possible.

The vocabulary is introduced in a logical manner, with examples that show just how they would be used in everyday speech. The sections dealing with the gender of words, plural forms, and definite and indefinite articles is very helpful for one who hasn't been previously introduced to the concepts.

I highly recommend this book to anybody who wishes to learn the language. Beginning students will find the book very informative, especially when combined with the pronunciation tapes or CD's.

    3 out of 5 stars Boring layout, more dictionary-like than anything.......2007-03-11

    Very thorough as far as words used in various business types, but very straightforward (boring). Not enough real life examples for my liking. Any more cut and dry and it would be a dictionary. Blah. I'll use it for reference than as a study guide as I had intended.

    3 out of 5 stars Not bad, needs update.......2007-01-04

    I work as a translator and occupational Spanish instructor at a university in the US. I use about 12 sources of information when I translate and this is one of them. I purchasd the book simply due to a lack of other options.

    This dictionary of sorts is organized into functional business areas such as accounting, sales, human resources etc. The authors did an extensive amount of work putting this together but I would say it is past due for an update to make itself useful in the US.

    Here are some observations:

    PROS
    - Very nice size and the print is easy to read.
    - Price is reasonable.
    - Thoughtfully laid out.
    - The authors seemed to really know what they were doing
    in terms of language expertise.

    CONS
    - The Spanish used is that from Spain, so for someone learning US Spanish, it has great limitation. Although, a large part of the vocabulary is the same and translating is a moving target. But if you are working with the Spanish or studying there, it could be a good resource.
    - The showstopper here is the fact that there is no English to Spanish glossary, and the reason I would recommend buyers go elsewhere. In other words, if you want to quickly find a word in Spanish and you know the word in English, you are out of luck. Strangely, it does have a Spanish to English glossary so you must first know the word in Spanish, so you can learn it is English. Just plain bizarre considering the cover is written in all English. But, this is something the authors could remedy in another version and make it very useful.

    [...]

    For now, I would recommend looking at another book.

    2 out of 5 stars Only has 3,500 entries, and is over 10 years old........2006-05-11

    I am a business translator, and have bought every English-Spanish dictionary published for almost 25 years now. This dictionary has only 3,500 entries, and was translated in 1997 from a 1995 German book. Hence, the book is not current, is very limited in scope, and worse of all, not even oriented towards English or Spanish.

    I gave it two stars because its sample sentences may be helpful for beginners. This book will be of no use to anyone of an intermediate of advanced level in either language. It is completely inadequate for business translators.

    I recommend your buying one or both of the following: Webster's New World English-Spanish/Spanish-English Business Dictionary, or The Oxford Spanish Business Dictionary. If you only need one, then buy Webster's New World English-Spanish/Spanish-English Business Dictionary. Do not buy Mastering Spanish Business Vocabulary : A Thematic Approach, unless you are aware of and accept these limitations.

    4 out of 5 stars Thematic Approach helps you master one thing at a time.......2000-06-14

    This book is very helpful. I read it before studying marketing for a year in Mexico. It helped me get a grasp on the vocabulary in my classes.

    Later I was offered a job because I spoke Spanish and knew about business. This book helped forge the foundation of an international business career.

    Currently I manage an import/export business in Monterrey, Mexico. This book has been extremely helpful.

    I highly reccomended this book to a professor at the University of Tennessee for required reading use in his classes. (Spanish for Business)

    4 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2000-03-28

    This book has proven very benificial to me. I am in the process of moving to South America with my employer. I am a Human Resource Manager and this book has helped me greatly with my spanish buisness vocabulary. Another book that I have found to be even more indispensable for me and a definite "5" star is the book "Spanish for Human Resources Managers."

      Book Description

      SpeakEasy Communications, Inc. began offering Survival Spanish for Construction(tm) in partnership with the HBA of Charlotte over four years ago. Since then, we've worked with professionals in a variety of trades. From plumbers to painters, you all want to learn a little Spanish to survive in today's changing workplace.

      Thanks to you, we've consulted with construction professionals from Chicago to Columbia and from here to Washington. And, no matter where we've traveled, you've all said the same thing:

      "Please produce a CD that will help me learn how to communicate in Spanish."

      Well, we listened. And, now we've got it! We hope you'll think it was worth the wait.

      Chapter 1: Greetings & Introductions
      Chapter 2: Spanish Sounds Rápido
      Chapter 3: Numbers
      Chapter 4: Work Instructions
      Chapter 5: Parts of the House
      Chapter 6: Tools of the trade

      3 out of 5 stars Of course it's slow.......2006-08-08

      Just a thought, responding to "skip it". Of course it's presented slowly, nobody can possibly learn a foreign language at the rate it's spoken by native speakers. I wouldn't expect the Spanish-speaking guys on my jobsite to pick up English the way I normally speak. We both slow down for each other, knowing we need time to process the phrases in our heads. Looking forward to getting this CD for our superintendents. I'm tired of translating for them!

      2 out of 5 stars Skip It.......2002-09-08

      There is a need for such a "tool". No Latin person speaks as slowly as this CD presents the words. The idea is good,but it needs much improvement before it can be really useful for a person in the construction industry.

      This is a wonderful tool. One of the best tools in my toolbox. It is helpful not only with hired help, but with new customers too. Thanks! K. Gilbert, K and M Construction

      4 out of 5 stars Spanish for Medical Personnel, 6th ed. review.......2006-08-19

      This text was used for a course at a community college in Texas. Having lived on the border (and Spanish being my 3rd language), I respectfully disagree with anyone who says this book/CD is "worthless." I took the course to be able to communicate better as both a licensed massage therapist and certified pharmacy technician. My teacher was super, and I look forward to another class with her. The twenty lessons, six appendices, and both Spanish-English and English-Spanish vocabulary lists, cover almost every medical situation one can imagine, from emergency room to diabetic dietary consult. Por favor,¡estudie más!

      1 out of 5 stars Medical info for Spanish speakers.......2006-04-26

      These CD's are USELESS. I'm not sure who could benifit from buying this. There is no English spoken. You will have no idea if this is even Medical spanish unless you are already fluent in medical spanish. I speak a little spanish and was pissed that I wasted my time and money on these CD's. After going through the first CD I fast forewarded every CD just to see if maybe more was said later, but no. There is no explination in English of what is being said on the CD's.
      DON'T WASTE YOU'RE MONEY. If you really want it...you can buy mine.
