Spanish for Veterinarians: A Practical Introduction

Spanish for Veterinarians 2e is designed to help you rapidly learn working Spanish for clinical conversations. The presentation of the language is not traditional-explanations are written for veterinarians, not grammarians, so you won't find conditional verbs or terms such as "pluperfect." Here's what you will find:

* A pronunciation guide and explanations of how to conjugate verbs.

* Basic conversations concerning veterinary medicine.

* Ample vocabulary lists for animals, body parts, and diseases.

* Cultural discussions on the role of animals in Hispanic American and on how to handle introductions and small talk.

* Vocabulary for obtaining information for the clinical history and the diagnostic exam.

* Chapters on specific animals, including a new chapter on exotics.

* Vocabulary for check-in forms.

* An English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English dictionary of practical veterinary terms alphabetized together.

This new edition is a lively presentation of the Spanish that working vets increasingly need to know.
