 In the course, I’ll give you the insights it took me months to learn.  I’ll teach you a simplified approach that many Spanish instructors simply can’t because they grew up speaking the language and have no idea what it’s like to learn Spanish from scratch (I've been in your shoes) and you get the bonus of learning the Spanish language in the medical field that you’re working in and will be able to put it into practice right from the beginning.  By the end of this course, you’ll be conversational with your patients, in other words, you’ll be able to understand your patients, speak to them and more importantly be understood when you speak.

Meet Your Instructor

Mark Barnes

Before I was 20 years old I didn't know any Spanish, I bombed my 1 year of French in high school and thought I’d never be able to learn a second language. When I was 20 I took a 2-month crash course in Spanish and went to Mexico for two years where I continued to self-teach and mastered the Spanish language.  Now, I’ve been speaking Spanish since 2002. I’m a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.  I translated a couple hundred-page book from Spanish to English for a Venezuelan author I met in Miami.  I was an interpreter for a couple of landscape companies in Las Vegas and ran a business of my own in Spanish being that my employees were Spanish speakers.  Over the years I've had a lot of people ask me if I can teach them to speak Spanish like I speak it.  From these requests comes Spanish Made Simple.  I've taken the concepts of how I learned and mastered Spanish and have simplified them so that those who take my courses will become conversational and fluent in Spanish in a simple step-by-step fashion.
