I originally learned Spanish in my Philadelphia, PA high school and, after graduating, spent 7 months in Spain (Valladolid) as a teacher’s assistant in a girls’ prep school. For the last 16 years I have served as a volunteer registered nurse at a local free clinic. This clinic’s patient base is approximately 40% Hispanic and most speak very limited English. In addition, there are many who lack basic health literacy, so my job is to help them feel comfortable with medicines, procedures, and instructions. I often find myself having to translate a health provider’s English”medicalese” not just into Spanish, but into something understandable to the patient. So I need to enhance my vocabulary and improve my pronunciation.
¡Hola Michele! Sounds like an excellent reason to continue working on your Spanish. So glad you can join the course!
