Here is a "homework" idea so that you can master the vocabulary! Translate the following dialogue and leave your translation here in the comments! I'll comment back with any necessary corrections! :D

Doctor: Good morning! How are you?
Patient: Fine! And you?
Doctor: Great! My name is ... I'm your doctor/nurse/etc.
Patient: Nice to meet you.
Doctor: I see you're here for your diabetes.

[Feel free to be creative and continue the dialogue!]

Interested in practicing the dialogue and perfecting your pronunciation?? Check the link in the description for tutoring lessons!

I always learned the "ll" had a "y" sound for Spanish. So I looked it up. The "y" sound is the most commonly used, and the "j" sound is the second common pronunciation. It just depends on the country you are in. ❤

I will be taking a Spanish prerequisite course in order to get into nursing school. I’m so glad your breaking down and explaining so I can understand

[kendrawildenberg]

I’m a nurse and we always have Spanish speaking patients that I need an interpreter for. This is something I think all healthcare workers should have some ability to do (including myself and I need a lot of help!) this is perfect!

[lilmsnd]

Thank you so much! I’ve been learning from you and the videos are so easy to understand! Thanks again!

[austinjolly]

this is a great resource! thanks for sharing :)

[zoekreft]

This was great! I know medical Spanish is something that’s always been on my “to do” list, but have yet to do. Excited to see more!

[melbanjenga]

Gracías Michael! That was super easy to follow, hope to continue seeing more videos from you. I’m planning on going to nursing school and I feel like these pocket phrases would be a great asset to have when I start practicing 😊

[sheeliekittie]

I'm so glad to find your channel! I just started an online course for medical interpreting. I do hope there is still a need for this particular vocation, as of course my hope is to find some job at the end of the journey =)
If I am proficient in English and Spanish do you imagine I'll be able to find work as an interpreter? Thank you so much!
