• Our two-week intensive immersion program is designed to get you using the Spanish you know.


• We take all that you've learned in traditional classes and start moving you forward from there.

• The people of Veracruz love visiting with foreigners. They are warm and welcoming people who will open their hearts to you

This course is for nurses who have studied Spanish but still aren't able to speak it.

• Many study Spanish in a standard classroom and gain a great deal of valuable knowledge about the language, but few truly begin to speak.


• Our non-traditional instruction along with our small group size provides a safe and encouraging setting where students begin speaking almost immediately.


• Class is conversation oriented and is activity driven. Conversation oriented gives you lots and lots of practice speaking and listening. The many different activities prepare you to talk in a variety of situations.


• You'll practice with many different staff members. This better prepares you to understand many different patient voices.


• You'll have six class hours (theory) and three hours of lab. If you wish to practice more, staff is available up to an additional five hours.


• New concepts will be explained in English so they are fully understood and immediatly they will be used in Spanish.


• You'll have many chances to role-play direct patient care situations and also caregiver situations.


• After hours, away from school, as you're out around town, you'll be speaking Spanish--it's all great practice, and it's 100% authentic.

If it's been a while since you studied Spanish, a lot will have slipped your mind.

• But that's no problem at all. We'll review all the grammar you need, and we'll help you brush up on vocabulary you've forgotten.


• We'll add all the new grammar that's needed.


• We'll increase your general vocabulary.


• We'll add lots of medical terminology.


• We'll work with you on colloquial constructions your patients are likely to use.


• We'll keep all of it focused on getting you speaking Spanish--providing nursing care in Spanish.
