Spanish for Agriculture

Frustrated with language barriers on the farm?

Learning Spanish for agriculture doesn’t have to be difficult!

These practical, ag industry-specific Spanish courses are designed to help English-speaking ag professionals and farm owners speak clearly, confidently, and respectfully with their Spanish-speaking teams.

How it works

1

Before Class Starts

  • Register for class!
  • Mark off Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings on your calendar. Actual class times are determined during registration
  • Gain access to all supplemental learning resources
  • Plan to spend minimum 1 hour per week on homework/vocab practice

During Class | Weeks 1-8

  • Attending live is NOT mandatory, but highly encouraged
  • SmartBoard and Learning Platform technology to give you the best experience
  • All classes are recorded and available on-demand with password-protected access
  • Interactive discussions with in-class activities and student participation
  • Homework assignments to reinforce learning (it’s not overload, I promise)
  • Regardless of which option you choose, you receive consistent, timely support no matter your pace/where you’re at in the course
  • Review week in the middle (week four)

“This was a very effective class.  I was engaged throughout the training, even though I viewed most sessions as recordings.  I am recommending this class to my team and to leaders of other teams in our Dairy Unit.  I learned a lot.” 

– David K, Ph.D.

I have learned so darn much in a short time. With a full time job and a family, this course made it possible for me to learn Spanish! Thank you so much! This course really will change the course of my future. It is so awesome to see the excitement, respect and trust in the eyes of the Spanish speakers that I have spoken to so far.

Thankful for the flexibility of this class for sure as I travel a lot for work! I’m taking on 5 farms with all Spanish speakers so I’m looking forward to using what I’ve learned here. I know it’s going to come in handy- it already has.

Not only was it the lessons you taught and how simple you broke the lessons down, but it was the encouragement you gave. The encouragement you gave to keep going helped me grow greatly. I can now understand the topic of the conversation and put the pieces together to give a ballpark response. I have a lot more to learn, but I am very grateful to have found your class

Hayley J.

I really enjoyed your class, and am so thankful you offer them. I know my sentences aren’t perfect, but 6 months ago I could barely speak spanish. Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement through the course.

Don't work in dairy, swine or poultry? That's okay!

If you work in another sector of ag, you will still benefit from these courses.  We recommended that you take the Spanish for Dairy course.

We’ve had students from produce farmers, ranchers, pharmaceutical representatives, consultants, etc.

All courses include basic ag vocabulary that works across any ag industry.

You’ll learn words for common equipment,  actions, and descriptions used daily in agricultural work in additional to general use Spanish like colors, numbers, and days of the week.
