A good preparation for internship or work
We designed the course Medical Swahili A1 to prepare you, as a health working for your internship or work in the medical field in East Africa. Whether you are a medical student, a doctor, midwife or nurse. We have you covered.
You do not need to have any prior knowledge of Swahili for enrolling in this course. We cover the basic topics like greetings, introducing yourself, body parts, the past en future tenses and practice speaking with patients. Grammar, conversation skills and cultural information alternate in these lessons, because they are inextricably linked. The lessons last one and a half hours, of which about 30 minutes are devoted to conversational skills.
Students who complete the course Medical Swahili A1 will be able to conduct simple conversations, such as taking medical history, simple hospital discharge, and doing their own shopping.
At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of completion. Some conversational skills will be necessary to obtain this certificate.
At this moment we offer this course only online. We believe having good quality lessons is important, especially when learning a new language. So our online groups are very small with a maximum 4 students. We also have adapted our lesson materials to this teaching medium.
The costs for this group course are €250,- Different rates apply for private or duo lessons. This includes lesson materials.
