Hard to make progress on this one. Perhaps there is a way to achieve this goal that I haven’t considered. If I could find someone exceptionally well versed in Spanish as a foreign language here it would be great. The problem is that it doesn’t even exist as a college degree here so it’s hard to find anyone. 1 month ago

This is a part of my heritage and I pride myself on having a pretty good accent, but the opportunities for speaking it are few and far between. I grew up hearing both English and Spanish spoken in the home, though I was never spoken to in Spanish directly. It was always my parents ‘secret language’ when they were talking about us to each other 1 month ago

Approaching this goal of my mine is starting to show its benefits. I am in a surgical residency program and as a team of 5 other residents, I am an asset because I am the only one that can effectively communicate with the Spanish speaking patient and share the information with the team. (smile)
Also, I know I am improving, because Spanish speaking people stop me for directions and I am able to answer them. Then, I can feel good knowing that my self-development in becoming Bilingual really makes in a difference for myself and other people’s lives.
Being bilingual in Spanish and English has so many benefits. I am more marketable in the workforce. I can related and show compassion to my patients. 3 months ago

I want to learn Spanish to be able to communicate better at work. I work in retail and we have a lot of Spanish speaking customers. It’s frustrating and embarrassing to me that I can’t even talk to them in the simplest of terms. Keep in mind I took three YEARS of Spanish in high school!
Also as an added bonus for me… I’m promising myself right now that if I learn Spanish and become completely fluent, I’m sending myself to Spain(and a couple other destinations; I would also like to be fluent in French). So how about them apples? 4 months ago
