Phoenix, Arizona-August 16, 2006-It's a new concept, and homeowners at last weekend's Arizona Home & Building Expo (Phoenix) gave it resounding approval! Just Point and Communicate!™ for Homeowners was a runaway best seller at the show, demonstrating that it is all it should be to help with the challenges of language communication when remodeling, building, hiring for repairs or maintenance, or even housekeeping and catering. With phrases specific to the job at hand in English and Spanish, materials and tools glossaries, and numerous illustrations, this series of books is revolutionizing how we communicate between cultures.
How did one couple's experience with a tile installer spawn a series of language communication books? It helps when you own a publishing company. Bobbi and Bruce Fischer, owners of Golden West Publishers, realized a problem when they spotted a crooked tile line, but could not communicate enough with the contractor's employee to correct it because he didn't speak English and they speak very little Spanish. While the problem is not unique - on both sides of the language fence - the solution is, and now available in the Just Point and Communicate! Construction Series™, which includes the book for Homeowners, as well as eight construction trades.
The innovative new series in English/Spanish transcends standard translation books. No need to learn a new language or fumble for clumsy translations - simply point to communicate. The books are constructed in such a way that they aid English-to-Spanish or Spanish-to-English, and can even be used as a learning tool. Both the Homeowners ($19.95) and General Contractors ($24.95) editions are large, comprehensive reference books that include all eight of the individual pocketsize books (content) for the jobsite. Helpful categories assist with hiring, giving instructions, and workplace safety.
With its successful maiden debut at a hardware stores convention in Las Vegas and now to the enthusiastic consumer market in Phoenix, the Just Point and Communicate! Series is set to be available in major hardware and housewares stores this fall. The series is also being marketed as a corporate tool, able to be customized for many practical company applications and as a promotional product.
