Oaxaca is an excellent example of a traditional Mexican city with it's beautiful architecture and wonderful celebrations. Law Enforcement officials in Oaxaca, however, have a similar job to their American counterparts, making it an ideal location for such professionals to study the Spanish language in relation to their specific field. AmeriSpan’s specialized Spanish for Law Enforcement program is designed for law enforcement professionals who have a need to communicate in Spanish on the job. Through a combination of group and private classes participants can learn the relevant vocabulary and common expressions as they relate to their specific professional area. We recommend that participants have at least an intermediate level of Spanish proficiency to gain the most from the program.
