These medical Spanish lessons are based on common clinical encounters written and recorded with my teachers from Latin America. We also interview real patients and providers from Latin America. In these interactive audio lessons, we cover basic to ADVANCED Spanish. In order to support this free podcast, I also offer member-only podcasts. In the interactive member lessons at docmolly.com, we take a deep dive into the Spanish you hear in the free lessons. We review the key vocabulary and grammar and interpret the key phrases between English and Spanish. This podcast is ideal for ANYONE (not just medical providers and interpreters) who wants to reach an advanced level through listening and speaking.
