FAQ

I need to train kitchen staff and communicate about food prep. Will this help?

Yes. Conversational fluency allows you to give instructions, explain procedures, and manage your team effectively. Once you're conversational, learning specific culinary terms and kitchen vocabulary happens naturally through daily work.

Do you teach menu terminology and food service vocabulary?

We teach general conversational Spanish. The specialized vocabulary for ingredients, cooking methods, and service procedures can be learned more easily once you have a conversational foundation. Many hospitality professionals supplement with industry-specific resources.

How quickly can I start communicating with my Spanish-speaking team?

Many students can handle basic workplace conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. You'll be able to give directions, ask questions, and explain tasks - specific hospitality terminology builds naturally on this foundation.

Can you incorporate our menu items into the training?

While we focus on conversational Spanish rather than customized vocabulary, once you're conversational you'll easily be able to discuss your specific menu items, ingredients, and preparation methods with both staff and guests.

I liked the course. It's structured so that you learn enough to start conversing right away which is important to me as speaking is where I struggle the most. The homework is challenging but not too much. I can just do a little bit every day.

The coursework emphasized learning to speak and understand complete sentences rather than just words which made learning easy

Great course with great instructors! The Berges Graf Method just works. The beginning course is heavy on grammar and vocabulary and is conducted in English. There are 10 units in the curriculum, and a homework assignment at the end of each unit that is reviewed at the following lesson. The instructors go above and beyond the class materials and make the class interesting. The classes are online and small (up to 5 people) and the instructors get all the students involved. Highly recommended!
