Spanish for
Dieticians is a conversation-based class to develop the skills for
communicating with confidence as a Dietician in Spanish. To keep you speaking
Spanish in class, we use stories, role-plays and telenovelas, content specific
Youtube mini videos (at your level- not to worry!)
The entire
curriculum is designed around gathering information from the patient about
their food likes and dislikes, eating habits, portion sizes and exercise
habits- including dancing. In addition, Beginner I and II’s learn the basics of
offering simple suggestions about a low sodium diet and diabetic diet.
Beginner III’s,
intermediate and advanced students can further their knowledge of the dietary
education portion of your work. In the higher levels we learn to offer more
in-depth explanation of low sodium, low fat/cholesterol diets and renal diets.
Latin food by country: Since each Spanish-speaking country has
it’s own cuisine; we discuss commonly consumed foods by country and how this
influences people’s food choices. We even sample some commonly consumed snacks
the last day of class!
