NEW ENGLISH-SPANISH COMMUNICATION TOOL FOR HOMEOWNERS
Just Point and Communicate! by Golden West Publishers Bridges the Language Gap
Phoenix, Arizona-July 13, 2006 -- Golden West Publishers presents Just Point and Communicate!™ an innovative new series of English/Spanish communication tools for homeowners and the construction industry. It's a fact. On a national level, 18.3 percent of Hispanic/Latino citizens "Speak English 'not well'" and another 10 percent, "not at all." (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 figures.) While new U.S. citizens are encouraged to learn English, it is not always a simple task when they are working so hard to provide for their families.
Just Point and Communicate! English/Spanish edition for Homeowners ($19.95) assists with service, delivery, remodeling, installation issues, and many other home maintenance fields, helping to relieve the language barrier. This large reference book is comprised of phrases in both English and Spanish, to work with gardeners, painters, electricians, carpet cleaners, and other repair/remodeling and service professionals-just point to communicate! An important JPAC feature is a job-specific glossary in both English and Spanish along with large, easy-to-read print, and numerous illustrations, all to help the homeowner hire appropriately, give instructions, work safely, and avoid costly mistakes. It is also a valuable tool for seniors.
As with most great ideas, Just Point and Communicate! is a product of necessity. "After having a personal experience of not being able to communicate with tile layers for three weeks in my home, I knew I had to come up with a tool to bridge the language gap," says Bobbi Fischer, co-owner with husband Bruce, of Golden West Publishers. We feel that Just Point and Communicate! is a significant solution to a huge problem in America, in offering a means to get the job done without having to learn another language."
Golden West Publishers debuted the Just Point and Communicate! Construction Series at the recent National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. As a result, it is scheduled to be available through major hardware stores this fall. Phoenix Valley consumers will be able to see and purchase Just Point and Communicate! for The Homeowner, August 11-13th at the Arizona Home & Building Expo, in the Phoenix Convention Center.
The handy pocketsize for construction jobsites, currently published in eight major construction fields, bridges the language gap for employers and co-workers, and is priced at only $14.95. The large reference book for General Contractors, Builders and Supervisors ($24.95) contains all eight industries, as well as a section to communicate better while hiring and explaining workplace safety and rules.
