Introducing Hablar y Trabajar: Spanish-English Basics for Skilled Trades Professionals

An Interactive Workbook to Solve Jobsite-Specific Communication Challenges

ANNAPOLIS, MD – January 14, 2025

Aprovechar Language Solutions, LLC has successfully published Hablar y Trabajar: Spanish-English Basics for Skilled Trades Professionals to resolve jobsite-specific questions and answers for all tradesmen and tradeswomen.

According to a 2019 American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL) survey, 40% of contractors reported a huge gap in foreign language skills on their jobsites, with that gap expecting to widen further. Authored by Megan Miller, this new workbook was developed for busy adults as an alternative to costly, time-intensive Spanish courses that don’t apply to specific language needed for the workplace.

This interactive workbook is made of:

  • Bite-sized, neuroscience-informed habit-building guidance

  • Audio resources, interactive quizzes, and plenty of space for notes

  • A user-friendly glossary taken straight from the jobsite

  • Basic “emergency” knowledge, including colors, quantities, and basic phrases.

Hablar y Trabajar: Spanish-English Basics for Skilled Trades Professionals can be purchased online at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and through the Aprovechar Language Solutions website. Additional information about personalized workshops and keynote speaking is also available at the website.
