& CULTURE The Latin American Missionary Training Institue (L.A.M.T.I.)
was founded by the Fundamental Baptist World-Wide Mission to meet the need of Independent,
Fundamental Baptist, Spanish-speaking missionaries in three ways:
Prepare them to speak and understand the Spanish language.
Help them to adjust to, understand, and appreciate the Latin culture
Get hands on training in language, culture, and missionary work.
To this end, L.A.M.T.I. is more than just a language school. Here missionaries
can learn the language by living it!
The course used by the Institute was developed
by the Military Institute of Linguistics.
It is used by the government to train diplomats and ambassadors for service in foreign
countries. We use the course with written permission. Some of
the language has been changed or adapted to be more
suitable for missionary work.
The course is titled "Situational Spanish." It consists of
the different, yet common situations which missionaries will encounter on a daily
basis.
For example, the first lesson is "In the market place." It has to do with
market purchases of fruits, vegetables, and other items. Other lessons
deal with such situations as: "The Post Office," "The Beauty Shop," "Door
to Door Witnessing," along with many other situations. The course includes
69 lessons which cover all areas of life in Latin America
