Welcome Bienvenidos
Welcome to Green Industry Spanish! Our goal is to provide a simple, pocket-sized resource guide to help you communi-
cate with Spanish speakers in your workplace.
Each section contains alphabetized Spanish translations of words and phrases often used in your workplace as well as
phonetic spellings to help you with pronunciation. Capitalized letters in the phonetic spellings indicate where to place
the accent/stress.
Examples: Install the edging. Make this area level.
Instala el borde. Nivela esta área.
een-STAH-lah / ell / BOHR-day / nee-VELL-ah / ES-tah / AH-ray-ah
This guide was designed to be easy to use and easy to carry. It contains the most basic, widely used words and phrases
you may need. It’s small size means you can slip it into your pocket for easy access any time. And, it’s weather resistant.
Thank you for using Green Industry Spanish, and have a great season!
