Make sure your organization does not miss the "Hispanic Wave"!

Give your employees the tools they need to be successful with the Hispanic Market by attending the Awaken the Spanish Within® Language and Cultural Training Immersion Program

A Two Day Language and Cultural Adventure!

Have you every wanted to learn Spanish, but did not have the time to attend weeks and weeks of classes?  Join us for the Awaken the Spanish Within® Immersion Program, the easiest and fastest way to learn Spanish! Our program begins by teaching participants the basic foundation of the language, and then incorporating industry specific terms and phrases to your organization.   This program is a “Revolution in Learning”, using a whole brain approach to learning based on a patent pending system of teaching called Voice Tonality™ technology.

Voice Tonality™ technology powers the audio programs that participants listen to outside of the class instruction.  These audio programs will help participants to see and hear word patterns within the Spanish and English languages.  You will hear the words and phrases repeated in various voice tones.  Voice Tonality™ technology is a system of learning designed to enhance the learning process.  Hearing and repeating word and phrases in various voice tones automatically gets your brain waves to line up in a sequential order, which promotes a whole brain approach to learning.  Participants remember Spanish words and phrases easier, faster and quicker than in any other method of learning.

This system of learning:

  • increases language comprehension and retention
  • engages students with a fun, innovative, and comfortable method of learning 
  • builds confidence participants need to start speaking Spanish
  • teaches Spanish through total involvement and maximum pleasure
  • encourages learners to feel comfortable while learning to speak Spanish
  • creates a desire for participants to want to continue learning Spanish, which is the cultural bridge.

This program does not stop at language training alone, because understanding and appreciating cultural differences plays a role in developing proper language structure and conversation skills, we incorporate cultural diversity training into our program.

Cultural Diversity Training on:

  • Ways to create a Hispanic friendly environment within their company/organizations
  • Proper greetings and expressions
  • To build personal relationships with Hispanics in their communities
  • To understand the Hispanic cultures views on family, religion, and relationships    
  • Why Culture Matters
  • Attitudes towards Time
  • Outreach to Hispanics
  • Establishing Personal Relationships

An integral part of the Awaken the Spanish Within® Language and Cultural Training Immersion Program is helping the participants establish continuing methods of learning to further their journey into the Spanish language and Hispanic Culture. 

Through our education and travel partners we make available:

  • Self study audio programs
  • Travel programs
  • Educational products
  • Timed follow-up quizzes  

We have had outstanding results from this system of learning and it works!

  • Bon Secours Richmond Health Systems is implementing our Awaken the Spanish Within® Medical Spanish course into their hospitals on all levels and they are making a significant difference in serving the Hispanic community in their time of need.
  • Henrico County Police Department has trained officers in our Law Enforcement Spanish program, and within 16 weeks patrol officers, dispatchers, sketch artists and detectives could perform their duties in Spanish.
  • Richmond City Teachers have continued our training programs for the past year and are connecting with Hispanic parents and children that they are serving within their schools and community.
