Spanish Words Every Gringo Chef Should Know
Oct, 8, 2007
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.
