2.0 out of 5 stars Only has 3,500 entries, and is over 10 years old., May 11, 2006

This review is from: Mastering Spanish Business Vocabulary: A Thematic Approach (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Mastering Spanish Business Vocabulary: A Thematic Approach (Paperback)

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)

This review is from: Mastering Spanish Business Vocabulary: A Thematic Approach (Paperback)

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."
