Spanish-English
Dictionary of Law and Business
by Thomas L. West, Tomas L. West, III
This
new dictionary provides a ready reference
to essential terms and phrases used in all
areas of law and business, including accounting,
banking, civil law, civil procedure, contracts,
corporate law, criminal law, criminal procedure,
economics, intellectual property, labor
law, real property, secured transactions,
securities law, and torts. Written by an
American attorney who is also an accredited
translator, it provides complete coverage
of terminology used in all Spanish-speaking
countries, not just those countries where
the other bilingual dictionaries on the
market were written (i.e., Spain and Argentina).
Accordingly, it is the only source for translations
of terms that are unique to countries such
as Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. The dictionary
was thoroughly researched using original
documents and monolingual dictionaries from
the Spanish-speaking various countries and
is thus authoritative and up-to-date. No
lawyer or translator who works with Spanish
legal and business documents can afford
to be without it. |

Workplace
Spanish for City & County Government
Learn
to communicate simply, but effectively,
with Spanish-speaking citizens, workers
and contractors in day-to-day situations!
It’s easier than you think –
no grammar, no alphabet to memorize, no
rules to study. You don’t need to
learn "the entire language" to
be effective - just learn key phrases and
terms specifically used by City and County
Government employees in your daily work
environment.
Workplace Spanish® for City & County
Government has been created from training
classes conducted for the growing cities
of Atlanta and Alpharetta, Georgia. This
is the same program being used by colleges
to teach government employees in Wichita,
Kansas; Clayton County, Georgia; Chandler,
Arizona; and other locations across the
US.
Our
quick-reference manual contains more than
450 key terms and phrases, divided into
useful topics which meet daily communication
needs. You’ll master Spanish pronunciation
and be able to engage in short conversations
focusing on greeting and identifying people,
serving citizens and assisting them with
licenses, payments, applications and forms;
dealing with water leaks, street repairs,
and other specific city services. The book
also features a practical quiz section called
Drills for Skills, as well as a helpful
alphabetical keyword list for easy reference.
The
one-hour audio CD covers all phrases covered
in the book, plus pronunciation tips and
suggestions on how to learn more quickly.
The CD features both a native Spanish speaker
and a non-fluent, yet accurate English speaker
repeating the terms and phrases.
