Best Medical Spanish Program
Learn Culture by Watching an Original Telenovela
Learning a language is not just about learning vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation.
In medical settings, becoming familiar with cultural differences for the patients you are communicating with is crucial. In Canopy Learn Medical Spanish, cultural modules are presented at each level – tailored for different medical specialties and presented in a series of customized medical telenovela episodes for you to learn with fun and ease.
Practice Your Pronunciation with a Virtual Tutor
Canopy Learn offers pronunciation training through virtual tutor videos that teach you mouth shapes, tongue positions and differences among sounds.
After each video session, you can also practice your pronunciation by recording your own voice and compare with the pre-recorded voice in Canopy’s interactive exercises!
Mock Diagnosis Via Patient Role Play
One of the highlights of the Canopy Learn Medical Spanish curriculum is that you can practice diagnosing patients in Spanish through dialogic role-plays. In each lesson, after you learn pronunciation, grammar and medical phrases, you will “interact” with your virtual patients by audio- recording your responses in Spanish for commonly used phrases. This allows you to experience authentic clinical scenarios and prepares you for communicating with your Spanish-speaking patients.
