Specialty Courses

Spanish for Healthcare Professionals

Open to people of ALL levels of Spanish ability, our medical program will put even beginning speakers on the right track. We provide hands-on Spanish language to help you acquire and sharpen your Spanish medical vocabulary and insight for working with the Latino Community. The course reviews greetings, body parts and organs, symptoms & conditions, patient interviewing, doing a physical exam, using medical instruments, giving instructions, and some cultural sensitivity. We use lots of props and role playing and also give you a hefty packet of materials to work with when you’re on your own.

Spanish for Educators

This beginning Spanish language course introduces learners to simple grammar and appreciation of the Hispanic culture.  The course specifically focuses on educators who are beginning Spanish-language learners and need to communicate with English Language Learners (ELLs) and their parents.  The focus will be on real-life situations, the classroom, and school terminology.

Spanish for Travel

Unlike most language courses taught, this course focuses its attention on situations that you most likely will encounter when traveling, like meeting people, communicate with your host family, buying things in the streets, traveling within the country, asking simple questions, etc. With a combination of pronunciation, grammar, free conversation and role play, you will acquire the basic Spanish skills not only to survive in Spanish speaking countries, but most importantly to enjoy your trip. If you are planning to take advantage of one of our study abroad programs for the summer, this is the right class for you.

Spanish for Kids

Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding for your child, and Spanish consistently ranks among the top three languages for children to learn. We combine music, craft, theatre and dance to give your child an immersive Spanish experience that introduces them to the language, culture and fun of Spanish!
