This review is from: Spanish-English Housekeeping (Paperback)

My children are both studying Spanish, and I decided to help them get fluent in it by having the three of us speak it together. Having studied Spanish years ago, I was a bit rusty, and I've found Dietz's book a great ready reference on vocabulary relevant to the contents of the home. It covers everything you might find in the kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, master bedroom, bathroom, boy's and girl's rooms, nursery, bar, laundry, patio and yard. It also provides vocabulary for home emergencies, the metric system and general conversation, and a useful index at the end of the book acts like a mini dictionary of all the items covered in the book.

I highly recommend this book to put on your reference shelf alongside a Spanish-English dictionary and a book on verbs such as the excellent Spanish Verb Manual by Alfredo Gonzalez Hermoso.

This book is a great help in improving your Spanish vocabulary. I work at a hospital with a lot of Spanish-speaking coworkers, and I find this book very useful in being able to talk more clearly with them.
