Spanish for the Busy Medical Professional

De: David Rappoport

Narrado por: Hadassah Davids

Learn to communicate effectively with your Spanish speaking patients and their families in just five hours!

Have you always wanted to learn Spanish but never found the time or the right teacher? Are you having trouble communicating with your Spanish speaking patients? Did you study Spanish in school, including medical school, but find yourself unable to construct even simple sentences in Spanish?

This book is for doctors, nurses, emergency medical personnel, and all medical professionals in need of a Spanish beginners or refresher course. Due to our unique method of teaching, you will be amazed at how much Spanish you will learn and retain in just five hours!

What makes this Spanish course special?

Our breakthrough method allows you to retain most if not all of what you learn and immediately put it to use. The key is interactivity: instead of making you repeat words and sentences, you are encouraged to think and apply what you learned. Using the words and concepts you learn throughout the course, you will build Spanish sentences and translate Spanish sentences into English right from the start. The course also makes use of the many similarities between English and Spanish, so you can associate new Spanish words with English words you already know.

You'll learn relevant words and sentences that you can put to use immediately. This will allow you to reinforce what you've learned through real life practice and motivate you to complete the course.

This course only takes about five hours to complete. Many people buy expensive Spanish courses and never find the time to complete the course. But you should be able to find five hours. Even if you only study for half an hour each day, you'll be done in a little more than a week!

Learning should be fun and rewarding. It is hard to describe the pleasure you experience when you manage to construct complete sentences in Spanish after just half an hour into the course. In addition, the course is peppered with quotes and anecdotes, to help keep the learning fun and exciting.

5hour learning

I liked this, it helped me learn how to pronounce and say the words correctly

great learning tool

I work at a hospital, so I listened to


it as I was driving to work and then practiced at work

great introduction course to Medical Spanish

great introduction to medical Spanish, plan to repeat and already purchsaed course 2 and 3

Irritating pseudo humor sacrifices clarity

All the stupid jokes by the narrator reduced my ability to absorb the material and only served as a distraction from learning

It’s The Beeeeest!

i have been learning Spanish every week for the past 2 years. This is the best thing I have found for sentence structure and so much more! Even for first time beginners it is great. For vocabulary the “Drops” app is my personal favorite ^_^ Happy learning!

This was awesome

I really enjoyed it. Very simple and the narrator makes connections with the English language.

Best Spanish tool for me

This is the second medical Spanish audiobook I’ve listened to and one of several Spanish self-learning tools I’ve used. I love the format and simplicity of this audiobook above all other Spanish resources I’ve used. The information is broken down in detailed but manageable chunks. The author actually explains the Spanish grammar rules rather than simply saying, “This is how you say _____.” The narrator also spells out many of the words. This is great for me because I’m an audiovisual learner, so I love being able to visualize the words while I listen.
Additionally, the book includes many great mnemonic devices (“tricks”) for remembering vocabulary, which is the hardest part of language learning in my opinion! Overall, an invaluable resource. I’ve now downloaded the second volume in this series and am excited to continue learning Spanish in this way.

Next level

I've been studying Spanish for quite some time, and I feel like this audiobook has helped me advance to the next level quickly.

Muchas gracias para la leccion medica! Ahora, puedo hablar con mis pacientes.

Edit: After purchasing some other audiobooks, it's clear that this book is designed to be an audiobook. it is far superior to the others I've purchased. As someone who is trying to learn to SPEAK Spanish, this books seems to do the best when helping with that.

awesome book

amazing format of 15 or so chapters. gets right to the meat of what you need to know. good for beg or int levels.

areas of improvement: less pause time, didnt seem like written by a med professional by some of the phrases taught

Perfect learning tool for Nurses!

As one of countless nurses who can muddle reading Spanish but have never finished a course tried, and having many Spanish speaking or ESL patients I can easily testify that this is the most specifically useful that I have ever seen. The teaching method is tailored to those of us who are lacking in free time but not desire to learn. We all know that ESL diminishes under stress, so being able to ask and/or instruct a patient in their own tongue is most desirable. The construction of the lessons is logical and applied, making it easy to assimilate.
The audio performer has a pleasant voice with clear pronunciation and diction which leaves no room for interpretational error. Hearing is believing.
I was fortunate to have received this audiobook as a gift
