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
“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.

After Class | Weeks 9-16
- Access all class recordings for up to 6 weeks after the live sessions end
- Catch up on any missed lessons or homework assignments
- One- on -one office hours are also available when needed
This is a non-credit course, but you do get a pretty sweet certificate at the end!

I can’t believe there’s only two more weeks of class left! Are you considering teaching an advanced class at some point? The classes have been helping my learning significantly!

Thanks, I’m enjoying your course so far, and finding it useful. The vocab especially helps with daily communication. Not touristy stuff like other Spanish courses 🙂

I just wanted to say that I absolutely loved this class! Thank you so much for taking something that seemed so intimidating and breaking it down to bite sized pieces and making it enjoyable! It takes a special kind of person to be able to do that.

I just filled out new hire forms with Spanish speakers, and I really enjoyed it. Your class has allowed me to interact with them on a more personal level. You have really helped me, and that in turn will have a positive effect on all my friends and employees.

Thank you so much for offering this class. I learned so much. I was a little worried about taking a class online, but you made it so much fun that it was easy to learn.

This class has been a HUGE help for me. I went from playing charades to being able to say what I needed. I loved your energy and enthusiasm for Spanish and it makes me super excited and motivated to learn. Thank you for making Spanish fun for me again.

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.
