I had great hopes when ordering this book, but was very disappointed. I teach a Spanish course for students planning careers in healthcare that have not yet attained a significant medical vocabulary, but who have advanced skills in the Spanish language. I and am always looking for new materials that might improve the course that I teach. If this were strictly a textbook to teach medical vocabulary to English speakers, I would give 5 stars. I really like the format and general organization of the book, but the Spanish translations are not what I expected reading the title in its entirety "Building a Medical Vocabulary with Spanish Translations.In the body of the chapter, no Spanish is given. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of English Vocabulary with a pronunciation guide, followed by a second list of other English words translated to Spanish with a Spanish pronunciation guide. Few of the words appear on both lists, and the lists of words translated to Spanish is about half as long as the list of English terms.This could have been such a great text if the author had done better with the Spanish. Providing a haphazard list of Spanish words with a pronunciation guide does not justify including "with Spanish Translations" in the title. The author does provide the perfect context for teaching medical terminology, but she barely approaches Spanish. She does not address Spanish grammar in any fashion., and there is no mention of the multiple cultural issues needing to be addressed when treating patients across cultural and language boundaries.
This is a book that should be purchased not rented, there are so many activities inside that I would love to do but can't marl in the book. But that is my fault not 's s all in all good book.
book great! but has a scan code not letters so i couldn't use the code (couldn't get it to scan ) but great service!
Only textbook I haven't regretted buying! Usual, not confusing, will you even after my class
Was very convenient to rent .. Saved a lot
