Medical Spanish Workshops

Unlike any Spanish class you have ever attended, our fun, interactive workshops bring the color and flavor of Latino culture to you through music and song as you learn Spanish for health care. Unique, creative teaching techniques combine the rhythms of the Caribbean and Latin America with interactive language acquisition strategies to ensure learning and enhance student participation. Workshops combine culture and language to bring you a fuller understanding of the diversity of the Hispanic culture and the different ways to health and wellness. This is not another boring "Spanish for Medical Professionals" class! Our training dynamic has become a national model. The program is grounded in solid theories of adult eduction and implements strategies appropriate to adult second language acquisition. We would enjoy working with you to to design a dynamic program for your professional conference or at your worksite. Please call to schedule a workshop in your area.
