FARM & RANCH SPANISH helps ranchers with Spanish-speaking workers will find this practical book indispensable to their operation. Chapters with names like "Today We Round up Goats," "Working on the Windmill," & "Picking Cotton," cover the everyday activities of ranch & farm life in simple Spanish & English sentences. No wrestling with grammar is required. On the job the rancher simply turns to the applicable section & reads or points to the appropriate sentence, & the worker replies the same way. Eventually, commonly used phrases become automatic. Vocabulary from a large glossary can be substituted in unusual situations, & those who want to hasten their mastery of Spanish can study the optional grammar section. Written by working ranchers who grew up speaking Spanish, received master's degrees in it, & went on to teach it, this no-nonsense presentation of the language of the Mexican border belongs in every rancher's truck.
