Kitchens are becoming the micro-melting pots within cities. In them you will find ethnicities of all types. If you work with someone of non-English speaking decent who speaks no English, you will find it hard and frustrating to even attempt communication with them.

Learning a little Spanish, being the most predominate minority tongue of the land, will get you much respect from your fellow co-workers. Even if it is a little at least it is a start. So I present a list of a few key words that will help you out.

• muy - very
• mucho - alot
• mas - more
• caliente - hot
• frio - cold
• vamanos - lets go, hurry up
• cuchillo - knife
• por favor - please
• los siento - I’m sorry
• bueno - good
• mal - bad
  
• todos - everything
• cansado - tired
  
• beso - kiss
  

This is a short list. I will add to it in another post. Also I will post some common Spanish phrases.
