This is a one-page handout on essential customer service expressions in Spanish, based on the practical conversation course "Spanish that Works for You" (available on Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com). The handout includes greetings, expressions of courtesy, phrases for negotiating meaning, questions, and commands. Use the handout as a study guide or reference in class or on the job, or to teach a lesson or workshop on Spanish for customer service – either for service providers or for travelers. The pronunciation guide (see also the free "Saying & Understanding" handout) trains English speakers to both understand and speak Latin American Spanish.
