What is occupational Spanish?

Occupational Spanish, also known as job-specific Spanish, can help you improve communication and teamwork and increase efficiencies in your organization. Grammar is not a focus in this type of training. Instead, the focus is on vocabulary and expressions that you need on a daily basis to do your job - for example, greeting customers, taking a medical history or complimenting employees.
