LAS VEGAS -- Half of the hospitality workers in southern Nevada speak Spanish, yet many of us can’t communicate with them.
Ronna Timpa, founder of Workplace ESL Solutions, is planning a day-long Spanish immersion training program scheduled for Saturday, January 17, 2015 at Fairfield Inn,
3850 South Paradise Road, in Las Vegas.
The event, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. will feature training on topics from small talk to culture. Attendees will learn how to form sentences and to ask and answer relevant questions.
“Global reaching companies invest in Spanish language acquisition for their workforce because they know that a significant portion of today’s international commerce is happening in Spanish,” Timpa said. “This is a global trend across all sectors.”
The $99 tuition fee includes lunch and beverages.
