Lula Ramírez - Spanish for Patient Care

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 drills… 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.
