This week’s Spanish on shift: Shortness of breath

Reader,

¡Buenos días amigos!

It’s Tyler! It's been a minute. Life got busy, priorities shifted, and HablaMed went quiet on the email front.

But we're back and better than ever, and I've been thinking a lot about what actually matters to you.

Over the past few months, I've rebuilt our content system from the ground up. New carousel format, better scripts, and a tighter focus on what you can actually use in patient rooms instead of generic vocabulary drills.

The feedback has been loud and clear: you want clinical scenarios you can pull up on shift, not textbook Spanish.​
​

So here's what's coming:

  • Weekly Reels on Instagram (@hablamedd) with quick clinical scripts
  • Deeper carousels every Thursday with full scenario walkthroughs
  • Emails like this one with practical, specialty-specific language you can use immediately
  • And soon: a medical Spanish book designed specifically for frontline workers like you. (If you would like a preliminary version or give any thoughts on this product- email me directly :-)

Before we go further, I'd love to know what you actually want. What specialty would be most useful? What gaps are you feeling in patient communication right now?

Share your feedback on our form here.​

(Takes 30 seconds, and it genuinely shapes what we build next.)

Thanks for sticking around. I absolutely love to hear from you all, please reach out with any thoughts or recommendations :-)

A personal note from Tyler. Reader, ¡Feliz año nuevo, comunidad HablaMed! 🎉 2025 was a wild ride—between work, study, travel, and the everyday chaos of life, I’ve had to press pause on a few things… and honestly, I’ve missed this the most.
