Lula Ramírez - Spanish for Patient Care

Helping healthcare professionals speak Spanish with confidence – the fun way! Grammar isn’t the enemy, but we don’t start there. ¡Hola!

We start with what really matters: confidence, connection and real-life Spanish. I’m Lula Ramírez - a certified Spanish teacher in the United States and the creator behind “Curly Spanish Teacher.”

I’m originally from Guatemala and passionate about helping English speakers finally speak Spanish with confidence. If you’ve studied Spanish before and felt stuck, overwhelmed, or bored with grammar dri

lls… you're not alone. I help adult learners reconnect with Spanish using visual resources, real-life stories, and a fun, engaging approach. Let’s make Spanish part of your life – one story at a time.

😬 You’re in front of a Spanish-speaking patient…
You manage to say: 'Can you sit down?' — but something feels off.

It’s not just what you say — it’s how you say it.

In Spanish, *tone* and *respect* go a long way.
✨ That’s why I teach this:

Just add: POR FAVOR. It softens the message and shows empathy 💛

💬 Did you know the letter C can sound like S or K in Spanish?
🧠 It all depends on the vowel that follows:

✅ C + E / I → S sound
✅ C + A / O / U → K sound

Examples:
- Cintura = seen-TOO-rah
- Corazón = koh-rah-SON

✨ Once you learn this, you’ll recognize tons of words in the hospital!

💬 “Can you sit down, please?”
She didn’t understand me. I smiled, repeated slower… still no response. 😓
(I’m not a nurse — I’m a Spanish teacher — but this story is one I’ve heard over and over.)

👉 One simple word: PUEDE
That’s all it takes to start giving respectful, clear instructions in Spanish.

Because every patient deserves to feel seen — and heard. 💛

🧠 Spanish Pronunciation Tip: The letter J
In Spanish, the letter J sounds like a strong English “H” — like hot or haha. 🔥

💉 Jeringa → heh-REEN-gah
✂️ Tijeras → tee-HEH-rahs
🧴 Jarabe → hah-RAH-beh

✅ Just breathe it out — no 'J' sound like in English.

✨ This is key for understanding real Spanish speakers and saying medical words confidently.

💡 You already know Spanish verbs — you just don’t know you know them!
Here’s the trick:
If it ends in -TION in English, it probably ends in -CIÓN in Spanish…
👉 Swap -ción for -ar, and boom — it’s a verb!

📌 organización → organizar
📌 comunicación → comunicar
📌 infección → infectar

🎉 It’s one simple pattern that gives you so many useful verbs — fast.

🎉 Good news! Spanish vowels never change their sound.
That makes pronunciation way easier — especially if you’re learning Spanish for patient care.

👉 A = “ah” (as in father)
👉 E = “eh” (as in red)
👉 I = “ee” (as in machine)
👉 O = “oh” (as in short)
👉 U = “oo” (as in zoo)

🎧 On Monday I’ll post a short video so you can hear the difference — follow so you don’t miss it!
