All classes can be customized as needed. We design our own text book with audio CD's to match what you need to say and understand. Classes are simple and straightforward. You'll learn vocabulary with visual images to help you remember the words. You'll get to practice your new Spanish in the classroom in role-plays that mimic your professional situations as closely as possible.

What you will learn:

  • basic greetings and introductions
  • to make yourself understood (pronunciation and communication strategies)
  • common symptoms and illnesses
  • to take down a spelled name in Spanish (alphabet in Spanish)

  • HIPPA forms and procedures
