Hispanic workers often will not ask questions when they don't understand. Many fear losing their jobs and the ability to support their families.

Your ability to communicate effectively with them will make a safer and more productive workplace.

¿Qué quiere decir?

This is a very different kind of language class. If you want to study Don Quijote de la Mancha, or become fluent in the Spanish language, this is not the course for you. This course is designed for construction supervisors that must communicate effectively with their Spanish-speaking employees. You need not know or understand one word of Spanish to enter this class. When you finish you will be able to use Spanish to communicate effectively with your Spanish-speaking employees.

What little Spanish the average U.S. worker remembers from high school is practically useless for communication in the fast pace environment that is a construction site where such a deficiency may even constitute a serious safety hazard.

Developed right here in south Florida by a U.S. Construction Worker of Spanish heritage proficient in language instruction having been trained by the Bertliz School of Languages and having more than 10 years experience teaching both Spanish and English in South America and the USA, and assisted by the leading safety professional in Florida, Dr. Benjamin Roger Kidder.

This course provides the best means for a fast and easy way to understand and be understood by Spanish-speaking construction workers.
