Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
