About this practice pack

Learning medical Spanish can help beginners communicate more confidently during a clinic visit, pharmacy stop, or follow-up appointment. This A1–A2 practice covers common patient-intake questions, greetings, names, and appointment details, then moves into body parts and symptoms such as pain, fever, cough, and dizziness. Short written dialogues show how these phrases fit into everyday healthcare conversations, so you can recognize what a receptionist or healthcare professional might ask and practice clear, simple responses.

Build your skills with practical exchanges about where it hurts, when a symptom started, and basic personal or health information. You’ll also encounter language for vital signs, simple instructions, prescriptions, scheduling, and discharge next steps. Free online multiple-choice practice gives you a way to recall key Spanish words and phrases and check your understanding as you study. Work through one situation at a time, then revisit the vocabulary that is hardest to remember.
