Doc Molly is back with Rory Foster for an interactive lesson on discussing injuries in Spanish. This lesson builds on one of Rory's lessons at Common Ground International. We practice talking about bruises, cuts, ruptures, breaks, tears, and sprains — first presenting a verb, a noun, and an adjective that share the same root, then using that vocabulary in phrases.

In today's episode, I interview Rory Foster of Common Ground International about their Medical Spanish Courses and Medical Spanish Immersion Trips to Latin America.

Common Ground International is an excellent resource for learning medical Spanish. They offer courses from beginner to advanced and Medical Spanish Immersion Trips to Ecuador and Costa Rica. Their Spanish Immersion Programs are for all levels and include:

• Spanish immersion classes
• Volunteer programs in the community
• Homestays with local families
• Weekend excursions

They just returned from their winter program in Costa Rica in February. On June 16, they travel to Ecuador to begin a 2-week program. On July 1st, they head to Costa Rica, where they offer a 6-week program. You can adjust the duration of your trip to your schedule. Learn more in the interview.

Gracias por escucharnos y volveremos pronto con una lección interactiva que hemos creado juntos.
