Data Dump

I use my Spanish language skills on occasion at work, and I have found this book's wealth of words and phrases to be useful. Spanish words and phrases are set forth with their English translation, most of the time with Spanish/English sample sentences. However, organization and perspective are lacking. There are 27 thematic topics and various subtopics in each topic. These topics and subtopics and the words or phrases themselves are not alphabetized. There are no insights, commentary, or tables. I give this book 4 stars (barely) because I am an information hound and because there is at least an index, although Spanish to English only. However, people who want more organization, explanation, and creative helpfulness may not find it as palatable as they would like.

Thematic Approach helps you master one thing at a time

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)

Very Helpful

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."
