What’s Worse Than A Broken Bone? Broken Spanish.
While you’re waiting to secure an interpreter, providing medical care gets tough. Not only is communication slow or non-existent, you have no emotional connection with your patient. If you aren’t able to speak and understand your patient, you can’t ask about their family, or how much pain they are experiencing, or let them know that an interpreter will be here in 10 minutes. They don’t get the care they deserve.
Broken Spanish leads to broken trust. And if your patients can’t trust you, they won’t see you again. Even if you have the right solutions for them.
When it comes to healthcare, every second counts. The longer it takes for you to communicate with your patients, the longer it takes for them to get what they need.
You’re not trying to replace the need of an interpreter, and you don’t need to be fluent. You just need the essentials.
Allow us to show it to you…

In just 4 weeks, we’ll teach you the key words and phrases you need to know for your healthcare job.
In Spanish for Healthcare, you’ll learn how to:

- Give clear instructions on general care, appointments (including dates and times).
- Use calming, reassuring language in stressful situations.
- Understand common patient responses and questions.
- Expand your Spanish with healthcare-based vocab that will make your job easier.
And once you complete the class, you’ll receive a Salud Spanish Certificate to certify your understanding of basic Spanish. Great for those going into healthcare and want more Spanish-speaking patients, and an edge over other job candidates.

What Our Happy Students Are Saying:
“I've been taking Spanish classes at Salud for four years. The classes are fun, the instructors are excellent, and when I traveled to Ecuador people could understand me! I highly recommend them.”
“I can't speak highly enough of Salud and its owner/head teacher. She knows what she is doing. She knows the language and its regional variations. Her pedagogy is developed, methodical, and ensures focus on all four skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking more or less equally. But best for those who want to improve listening and speaking, which can be hard to find in a language class. This is great for all levels, even lifetime learners who want to not only maintain but also improve.”
“Sarah is a fabulous teacher. I took in person classes pre-covid and am in zoom-based classes now. I was a little concerned that the online courses wouldn’t be very engaging… I was wrong. She’s a very enthusiastic and engaging person no matter the format/medium. 👏🏼 So yeah, if you’re reading this thinking “should I?”, yes, do.”
“You get what you put into classes, and I enjoyed having homework even if I did fall behind!”
“Salud has helped me have better dialog with my Spanish-speaking friends.”
“The instructor was lively and had great facility with the course materials and with engaging the class. I did not realize the class would be Spanish immersion, and it did help to hear Spanish being spoken (maybe just a bit slower!). I appreciate the course materials, they are well designed and helpful in learning new concepts.”
"The instructor is a continually positive and very helpful teacher. Any question is explored in a very satisfactory manner. I have found myself able to use much of what I've learned from these classes in a professional setting. It has been very useful.
I like the free-flowing nature of the course - a bit of discussion of articles, current events mixed with grammar. I liked not following a strict, book-based outline. I also really liked the zoom format, which makes it possible to attend a class from anywhere that has internet access.
The exercises given for homework and in class were well thought out and helped me obtain a deeper understanding of Spanish.
I loved the reading and listening homework assignments, followed by class discussion. This gave me an opportunity to learn new vocabulary and grammar points while having interesting content. I liked the mixing in structured grammar lessons.
I loved the course. The teacher is very approachable and has great energy and makes the class fun.
The variety of lesson types used, multimedia, and fun, engaging content. She encouraged and praised each person's contributions, allowing equal time for each, and took interest in our stories, and our experiences, which served as a very good way to draw us in.
The homework exercises were helpful, as well as the instructor's additional input throughout the class based on real-world situations, is something I also really appreciated. Good energy from her for this online platform.
