Re: Re: Medical Spanish Courses

December 18, 2010

I have been wondering this for a while...

Why do we only want to know Spanish for medical situations? How many times have

you been with a patient who speaks English and ALL you talked about was medical

complaints, and comfort words? How often did you only pay attention to the

medical things that the family or bystanders said?

Also, how many of you, like me, have taken one of these courses, not used it for

a few months...and then could remember it?

If you are going to spend the money on something...why not invest in something

like Rosetta Stone, bit the bullet, and actually learn the LANGUAGE? Then when

you are in a Spanish speaking only environment...you will pick up on all the

information not just a limited, slim set of the information.

Just curious on a cold Saturday morning...

Rosetta Stone is good idea, and several could pitch in together and share.

Saving on cost and all learning. Just a tender idea!

If I ran a service in Texas I'd buy Rosetta Stone for the service out of my

education budget. I bet it be cheaper than doing a live class.

A service I once worked for that had a school for the deaf move. Into our local

did courses in American Sign Language for Staff. It went over well.

Well...

The problem I have is that I don't know medical terms. I don't speak much

Spanish, but I know enough to make a very basic conversation. I just don't know

how to say things like... Tu este en manos buenos (you are in good hands), or

Adios y espero que te seintes mejor (Goodbye and I hope that you feel better),

or basic words like vestigo (gallbladder). Sometimes, I can piece things

together, but that's not what I'd like to rely on in an emergency, and most

definitely not the basic field guides they have out for the iPhone. I could just

go out and memorize it, but having something written in your head, and knowing

how to read it, and knowing how to say it are very different.

My apologies for the lack of accent marks - I can't figure them out on this

keyboard.

I have heard nothing but good things about Rosetta Stone, and am VERY curious

about the program. It claims to be different than anything else out there. No

memorization or useless drills.

But it is very expensive. In the other room, I found a CD Spanish language

software bundle named TOPICS Instant Immersion Spanish Pro. It wont load onto

Vista, but this puter I am on is running XP, so Im going to try to load it. As I

was reading the instructions, I found a line that reads:

" Once the installation is complete, it will create THE ROSETTA STONE group in

your program files. "

There is no other reference to Rosetta Stone anywhere else, so....Im wondering

if this is a Co-Op with Rosetta Stone, or what?

DeDe says she bought it years ago, at close out for about 10 bucks. I checked

TOPICS website, and they have it listed as discontinued, with no tech support

due to a contract running out. They were not specific about the details.

This is a 7 CD set. Im wondering if it is an older generic version of the actual

Rosetta Stone program.

This will be interesting to see, once I load these disks onto XP.

I would LOVE to have some better Spanish Speaking skills, even if I didnt work

on an Ambulance.

I'll keep my Guns, my Freedom and my MONEY,

You can keep the " CHANGE. "

The Pimsleur system is excellent. It does a very natural progression and

concentrates on the most conversational language. Rosetta Stone did not come

quite as natural to me as Pimsleur, and it does not focus early on foundational

words as well. However, overall, Rosetta is a much more comprehensive approach

that resulted in more long term learning and retention for me. Just note that,

as asked in the original post here, you'll still need to learn your medical and

physiological vocabulary elsewhere. I did it with a couple of books, one a

programmed text, and through conversation with native Spanish speakers. Anyone

with a 210 area code shouldn't have any problem finding one or two of those!

Heck, do like I did and marry one. You'll learn a lot very quickly!

If you've got the time and money, the best way to go is to go native. There are

many language schools in Mexico, and some of them are set up to provide medical

clinical experience for Gringos to get used to doing H&Ps en Espanol.
