Spanish Dictionary of Agriculture and HR Management This Website was built to support farm employers in learning Spanish, based on a desire to better communicate with their Spanish-speaking employees. The project is based on the following principles: |
- Provide tools that will help farmers learn Spanish naturally. Focus on learning by first listening.
- Focus on learning by repeating after native Spanish-speakers.
- Preserve the correct use of the Spanish language.
- Avoid the use of slang of "Spanglish".
- Where several correct words are available, provide those used in México.
- Where several correct words are available, provide words of more universal usage.
- Provide a neutral sounding (audio) Spanish that avoids regional accents.
