LEARN KEY SPANISH PHRASES IN JUST A FEW HOURS
WITH A COMMAND SPANISH COURSE AT SCC


    The St. Charles Community College Department of Workforce Development is offering beginner Spanish language courses through its Command Spanish program.  The classes will aid students in learning specific Spanish phrases that they can use in the workplace.

    “With more than 42 million Hispanics now living in the United States, the need to bridge the communication barrier with Spanish-speaking individuals is more important than ever,” Lita Pener, director of Workforce Development, said.

      With the Command Spanish program, students can learn key-phrases in a matter of hours.  The programs are non-grammar based and no previous Spanish knowledge is necessary to complete the courses.

    Command Spanish focuses on key Spanish commands that will help with careers in nursing, restaurants, supervising Spanish speakers, paramedics and EMTs, and firefighters.  The specific courses and times are:

    CDV-176: Command Spanish for Nursing – $125
        1-4 p.m. Fridays, May 4-June 8, TECH 208.
   CDV-178: Emergency Spanish for Firefighters – $100
