How to Command in Spanish
By cyberanna - January 13, 2009My son is in a Spanish-speaking daycare, and I bought this book because I thought it would be fun to learn to communicate with the women there in their language. This book was not just disappointing, it was slightly offensive. The reason is that 90% of the "perfect phrases" are *commands*. And rather condescending commands at that:
"Be in the room with the child at all times."
"Do not let the children play outside unsupervised."
"Don't let the baby get cold."
"If the children fight over a toy..." [3 optional endings]
"Play with the children."
Are you kidding me?
This book makes two upsetting assumptions: (1) You are leaving your child with someone who does not know how to take care of children and (2) Information goes in one direction only: from you to the daycare worker (in the command form only). Somehow, the notion that the daycare provider might actually have information for ME, seems to have completely slipped the author's mind... read more
Latina bosses need vocabulary for speaking with their English-speaking clients
By Cynthia Berger - September 20, 2012I so agree with the review that points out the underlying bias of the writer/publisher of this book.
My students are learning English. They are independent, go-getter adult women and men who own their own businesses, often as house cleaners for native-English-speakers.
They need English vocabulary to speak on an equal intellectual level that transmits their position of AUTHORITY with their clients who have contracted with them to perform a service - just like a plumber or electrician. They are respected by their clients, who would never speak to them in a commanding tone of voice as though they were not intelligent or as though they are beneath them socially.
They also need vocabulary to speak with their English-speaking EMPLOYEES! Yes, folks, Latinos own businesses in which the majority of workers are Latino and the rest are English speakers. Yes - they also EMPLOY English-speakers. So editors, get off your high horse and present your books within the the social... read more

By R. Poverman "computer geezer" - August 31, 2008This book is okay but takes a bit to find what you need. Not a good quick reference - for those wanting to quickly relate it is overly thorough.
