But if a patient is indulging in <a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/medical-tourism\/how-to-choose-a-medical-tourism-company\/\">medical tourism<\/a> and can\u2019t make it home right away, they may wonder how to spend their free time. Spanish is the perfect skill to learn while patients are stuck in their hotel rooms.<\/p>\n<h2>10 Ways to Learn Spanish While Recovering From a Procedure<\/h2>\n<p>Most cosmetic procedures take a few weeks to heal, but liposuctions and tummy tucks have up to a three-month recovery time. Use this time wisely by learning a new language, like Spanish.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Travel to a Spanish Speaking Country<\/h3>\n<p>Costa Rica, Spain, and Mexico are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/889983\/top-medical-tourism-countries-of-destination-by-total-index-rating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most popular medical tourism spots<\/a> on the planet, and they have at least one thing in common: their residents speak Spanish. Immersion is one of the best ways to learn a language, so try to get your procedure done in these countries.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Create Targets, Goals, and a Plan<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a bad idea to learn a skill without an aim (or end goal). Without a goal, you won&#8217;t be as motivated to speak Spanish. Start with a big goal, like \u201cI want to speak Spanish at B1 level in 2 months,\u201d then create a manageable schedule and a set of tasks that slowly get you to that goal.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Learn Spanish With Native Teachers<\/h3>\n<p>At online language schools like Lingoda, you can get Spanish lessons from a near-native teacher every time you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingoda.com\/en\/spanish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule a class<\/a>. A native-level Spanish teacher can help you speak more confidently in a short time frame. With dedication, you could become an intermediate speaker in 2 months.<\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>4. Read and Listen to Spanish Media<\/h3>\n<p>A good thing to do when learning any language is \u201ctrain your eyes and ears.\u201d Your brain picks up language patterns the more you\u2019re exposed to them, so it\u2019s a good idea to read and listen to Spanish media as much as possible. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you don\u2019t understand what&#8217;s said.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Memorize 1,000 Common Spanish Words<\/h3>\n<p>If you learn 1,000 common Spanish words, you\u2019ll understand 80% of what\u2019s commonly said or written. Flashcards are a great way to memorize these words, but you don\u2019t have to stick to physical cards. Apps like Anki and Memrise use digital flashcards to help you learn more.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Learn Basic Spanish Grammar Rules<\/h3>\n<p>Grammar is a more boring aspect of language learning, but you need to learn the basics to express yourself. Spanish speakers usually use the preterite tense, which describes actions completed in the past. Getting familiar with this tense will drastically improve your Spanish.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Listen to Podcasts When Taking a Nap<\/h3>\n<p>While the evidence isn\u2019t concrete, there are some studies that suggest you can improve your memory retention of vocabulary if you listen to a new language while you sleep. Since you\u2019re going to spend a lot of time resting, you might as well listen to podcasts when taking a nap.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Keep a Dictionary App On Your Phone<\/h3>\n<p>A dictionary app can come in handy when you\u2019re speaking to a Spanish native, and you can\u2019t find the right words to say. When learning Spanish, try not to revert back to English when you\u2019re stuck. You\u2019ll need to keep practicing and speaking more in the new language to get better.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Try a Technique Called \u201cSentence Mining\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>There aren\u2019t any shortcuts when it comes to language learning, but sentence mining is an exception. Learning tons of useful phrases, such as \u00bfC\u00f3mo te llamas? (\u201cWhat\u2019s your name?\u201d), can help you interact with more people and sound more natural in casual conversation.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Improve Your Accent and Pronunciation<\/h3>\n<p>To sound like a native Spanish speaker, you\u2019ll need to work on your accent and pronunciation. This is difficult when switching from a Germanic language (i.e., German and English) to a Romance language (i.e., Spanish and French), but it becomes easier after you train your ear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source: Unsplash Language and Medical Tourism: How to Master Spanish While Healing From Cosmetic Procedures As doctors, we prescribe a healthy dose of R&amp;R after a cosmetic procedure.
