Spanish conversation course for people living with Parkinson’s

Élisabeth Lapointe July 2, 2020

Parkinson Montréal-Laval is delighted to be able to offer a free conversational Spanish course. This is being done thanks to the initiative of Mr. Edmer Calero del Mar.

This course is specifically for people who have Parkinson’s disease and will be given by a professor who lives with the disease. The course is for beginning and intermediate students. The course objective is to help fight difficulties with elocution and isolation that people with Parkinson’s suffer from. This conversational Spanish course has been designed for people living with Parkinson’s and will focus on oral expression and pronunciation. The course will have an emphasis on interaction, exchanges of knowledge and experiences supported by written pedagogical materials, photographs and soundtracks. Basic linguistic tools for oral presentation will be used during the first classes and repeated as often as necessary.

Thursdays from 2 to 3:30 PM, Parkinson Montréal offices located at 560 rue Ontario East, Montréal, H2L 0B6.

Registration required: [email protected] or call 514-868-0597

A minimum of five people must be registered for the course to take place.
