Frequently asked questions
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.
