Language Lessons

April 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment

I’ve posted a bit in the past about learning the languages of our patients, since using translators can present a host of challenges. Just learning some basic terms can help create relationships with our non-English speaking patients, even if translation is still necessary. Open Culture has a list of free, online language lessons available, and the variety is impressive. Be sure to scroll through the comments, as well, where readers have added sites of their own.
