Our workshops teach practical and profession-specific Spanish and English phrases in a fun and exciting way that get participants speaking instantly and painlessly. The workshop is perfect for those who cannot commit to protracted, expensive and generic Spanish classes.

Some of our critics have described Spanish In-A-Pinch® language workshops and “cheat sheets” as “cost-effective, convenient and fun,” characteristics rarely applied to traditional classroom Spanish courses. Most individuals do not care to be efficient in reading and writing in Spanish; rather, most simply want to be understood and convey information essential to their job. We believe that with profession-specific Spanish “cheat sheets” and our simple and fun workshops, individuals can empower themselves “In-A-Pinch®”. Bilingual professionals enthusiastically support this approach for basic business transactions, allowing them to devote more time to critical translation issues.

Although our language tools require no instruction, our workshops provide a well-rounded explanation of their use and implementation. Periodic follow-up workshops strengthen the concepts initially introduced and provide more detailed vocabulary and profession-specific phrases, depending on the needs of each class group. Individuals look forward to our visits as they review basics and build on their growing language skills.

Workshops are taught by award winning presenter, Deby Jones, founder of 2nd Language Success. Her patented VisualPhonetic™ technique uses visual cues to help participants remember and pronounce words easily.

Workshops and Seminars

Learning a new language can, for some, be an intimidating and overwhelming experience. We note our best results in participants taking the 4 hour workshops. Individual are satisfied with the content and have ample practice time throughout the workshop. We help maximize your organization’s and/or your sponsor’s investments by scheduling two workshops on the same day (morning and afternoon sessions).  These can be either two repeated sessions or two entirely different classes.
