Hi I'm new here...can I ask for some help?
« on: December 13, 2015, 20:50. »
Not sure if this is the right place to ask....
I have an appointment at the Health Centre in Santa Pola on Friday 18th December at 10am to get the results of some tests.  I was feeling very pleased with myself that I managed my first appointment alone, but  my Spanish is not good enough for me to be confident that I'll know what the doctor is telling me - he doesn't speak English. 
My Spanish friends that speak good enough English are all working.
Is there a kind soul out there that speaks very good Spanish, that will accompany me?  I will of course pay any expenses and return the favour if possible.  I could even treat you to breakfast!
Failing this, any tips on where I can get an interpreter?

Hi Sandy,

before you book an interpreter please check their rates beforehand as some charge by the hour plus expenses and some charge a one off fee.

Best wishes

Same here. Rosa on 646141903 goes above and beyond. More than a translator, she knows all the medical staff and just gets things done! We'd be lost without her.

I took your advice and rang Rosa - she was great, so thank you all for taking the trouble to reply.  I'd recommend her too.
