FEATURED MODULE - NOVEMBER 2022:

In this video you will practice common statements needed by psychotherapists. The vignette is a therapist who takes an initial phone call from a prospective Spanish-speaking client, and later in the lesson, welcomes them to the office.

The module follows the conversation as the therapist makes initial statements and questions. We focus on the therapist's side of the conversation, so that therapists can perfect their pronunciation and memorization of 'universal' therapist statements.

It is not necessary to view the screen while practicing this lesson, although the visuals are provided. This is primarily a listening and repeating exercise that you are sure to enjoy and find easy to fit into your schedule!
