Curriculum
In Spanish for Healthcare Workers, we’ll spend Mondays learning new vocabulary, phrases and sentences that directly relate to your work with patients in the medical field. Then, we’ll spend Wednesdays using the new vocabulary, phrases and sentences in role-plays with native speakers.
This class will directly respond to the needs of individual learners. Please come to class the first day with a list of common situations (preferably ones you often find yourself unequipped to handle) that you would like to be able to troubleshoot in Spanish. We will directly address these situations and equip you with communication strategies. You’ll also commit to memory a list of essential verbs and how to combine them to make hundreds of sentences in Spanish.
