How important is it for doctors and nurses to be able to speak Spanish on the job?
The population of Spanish-speaking patients is steadily increasing.
Rancho de Español offers specialized "medical Spanish" courses, teaching conversational language and intercultural skills targeted specifically for the caregiving environment. The course also arranged volunteer work in local clinics and hospitals, where you will be able to practice while you learn.
Medical staff who enroll in these programs spend the number of weeks they desire speaking only Spanish in small group settings, interacting with locals, and often staying either, with a native-speaking family or on the school’s campus.
If you don’t have the flexibility of attending a long-term program, we have the Super Intensive Professional Spanish Program, special for those who can only stay for one or two weeks and then need to go back to work.
Healthcare providers, who decide to learn the language of their Hispanic patients, make a smart career move.
The course is supported by various didactic materials (our didactic material, audiovisual material, magazines and special publications, and of course the real practice in different clinics).
Levels: Beginner - Intermediate – Advanced
Maximum students per class: 5 students
Schedule:
Monday and Friday: They will receive 6 hours of Spanish, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., leave for lunch, and return for classes from 1:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
*(If the students prefer, classes can be given from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., go for lunch and return from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., only Monday and Friday)
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: Students will go to the different clinics from 8:00 a.m. to 11: 00 a.m., after 11 they will leave for lunch, and resume classes from 1:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.

"Excellent teacher, delicious food, very comfortable accommodations"

My teacher, Lourdes, was fantastic! I learned so much from her. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff at El Rancho were very nice and welcoming. My room was huge and very comfortable. I didn’t like the location of the school however. I couldn’t go walking as the cars drive like crazy and there were no sidewalks.
The classes were one on one with a very talented and caring teacher. It was totally a Spanish immersion course. No English was spoken unless after three attempts to make me understand a phrase or concept, she would give the answer in English. The class room was on a private "finca" with classes in little screened-in huts large enough for four people. There was a chalk board, four chairs, and the sound of a river rushing just beneath our classroom. My class ran from 8-10 with a half-hour break, then 10:30 to noon. Walked the 300 meters to my house for lunch then back to school at 1:30 until three PM. This was 5 days a week.
There were no activities as I was the only student in the school. However, the parents of my host family were my age and took me on a two day excursion to a resort on my weekend there. The parents and the host family were fabulous. I now consider them to be close friends. In the house which is very modern, I had a private room and a private bath. (Cold water only) It was like being in the Army again. Deja Vu. The school did offer me some tours on the weekend, but I had a friend who lives there and wanted to spend the time with him and his family.
The host family lived right next door to the woman's parents and were so accommodating. They made me feel as part of the family.
The location of the school requires one to take a bus or taxi to the city (Alejuela) which is about 20 miles away. It is very conducive for learning, but to get anywhere one either has to walk nearly a mile to the nearest restaurant or take a bus or taxi. I became ill one day and Manuel, the school director drove me to a pharmacy to have my blood pressure taken. It was normal and they said I was dehydrated. I bought some Gatorade and Manuel bought me a couple of coconuts to drink the milk. 30 minutes later, I was fine.

HOSTFAMILY
Many students and their parents wonder, "what is a home stay?", "what kind of home?", "what kind of people?", "where are these homes?". You will actually stay in their living quarters and can become a part of the family. Their homes are clean and ordinary. These are Costa Rican families who truly welcome you. They will do everything in their power to please you.
There is hardly any English spoken but you will learn your Spanish much faster when there is no other choice. It becomes fun and a challenge. Costa Rican food is delicious and there is always the smell of good cooking and coffee. This family cooks three meals a day that is if you are hungry. At first three meals might seem like a lot of food but around two days later when class is almost over you will be looking forward to those meals.
Usually you will walk to the school , which is within the area. The entire area of Guácima is within walking distance. When you start out in the morning, it is a pure delight. Everyone greets you, "Buenos días" even though they have never seen or met you before. It is the right thing to replay, "Buenos Días". You will note that people in Costa Rica work hard with difficult circumstances but still manage to greet you with a sincere smile and a kind word. As you continue your stroll towards the school you can take note of some beautiful white cows with long floppy ears.
At the end of your stay, you will become quite attached to your "Costa Rican family". However if you are not pleased, then changes could be made. Everyone's culture is different and the best method in learning a language is to learn the culture. You will receive these valuable assets with your host family at Rancho de Español.
''When you arrive in Costa Rica, the last thing you need to worry about is transportation to your destination, because a representative of Rancho de Español will meet you at the airport. You are then taken to the apartment or to your host family.''
''ON CAMPUS''
''For your convenience and if you prefer more privacy, the school offers fully furnished, single, double and for families, apartments on the school campus with a swimming pool in the backyard, and surrounded by beautiful gardens.''
''There you will be able to prepare your own meals, or if you still want to interact with a native family, we can arrange your three meals at a nearby home.''
''ALSO! If you want to travel throughout Costa Rica, without taking Spanish classes, and want to have a clean, safe and very good located place to relax and meet with relatives or other friends, this is the right place!''
