Summary

Spanish for Animal Scientists and Food Animal Producers will help readers gain a working knowledge of Spanish as it pertains to farm or ranch life. Like Spanish for Veterinarians, this guide focuses on practical, everyday Spanish in an animal science setting. Its goal is not to make its readers fluent; instead, it focuses on the nuts and bolts of conversational Spanish, all presented in a style that makes studying fun.Spanish for Animal Scientists and Food Animal Producers explains simple grammar for the non-linguist and uses the vocabulary specific to animal sciences for examples. The text has been organized to include only one main point per chapter, making the material easy to understand and absorb. Practical cultural topics conclude the chapters, teaching the readers how to chat about the weather, ask about family, and make introductions. The book includes a CD-ROM of pronunciation that can be used with the text or on its own.
