Helpful tool for medical professionals

I have a pretty limited, but active vocabulary. I speak Spanish on a daily basis with my patients and this allowed me to expand the conversations I have with them. Being that providing excellent care in the patient's language, this audiobook gave me that extra push of vocab to make sure I fully understood what was being said. As a medical professional I am saving lives and I certainly don't want anything to get in the way from doing my job to the best of my abilities. Certainly not a language barrier. Also, if you happen to have a family member with health issues (chronic pain, elderly, etc.) then this is also useful. Pronunciation is broken down in a digestible manner, so you really learn how to enunciate each syllable of the word. A great overview of medical phrases and critical terminology, whether you need a basic level understanding or a more in depth one this is an audiobook that should be apart of your collection.

Multi-lingual Resource

I recommend this excellent resource for anyone in the medical field serving a multi-lingual community. Inside you'll find the lessons are easy to follow, and are presented in a daily order that makes sense. To be honest I wasn't overwhelmed at all by the pace the content was provided. The lessons are quick, thorough and effective to get an edge on speaking Spanish. You are guided through repetitions of Spanish words, terms, and scenarios that really apply to the medical field, which helped me memorize the information quickly! One of the things I like about audiobooks is that I can practice at my own pace without feeling embarrassed! Thanks to the narrator and Touri for creating such a great resource

Solid foundation for medical Spanish

I found this to be a wonderful intro to Medical Spanish. I have a decent understanding of Spanish, but learning niche or specialty jargon is always a challenge. Any medical professional who is willing to take the time to learn Spanish to better communicate with their patients will find this audiobook of great help. The narrator has a strong command of both the Spanish and English languages. His voice was able to captivate my attention through these daily exercises. The book has some basics language barrier words and phrases to ensure you can communicate right off the bat with patients. The daily lessons go into learning different body parts, organs and medical conditions typical in a medical professional's daily interactions. What I found great is that it also covers what to say in case of emergencies, accidents, and even pregnancies. There's a ton useful information that I advise you to take it slow. Learn one day at a time and the go back to reinforce what you already learned. Of course, the best way to get the most out of this audiobook is to practice with Spanish speakers!

Better than I anticipated

First of all, the narration is very clear, understandable and delivered at a welcoming pace. As a fluent Spanish and English speaker I found the narrator to be very accurate. Additionally, the narrator did a great job giving the listener the necessary tools to learn, through clear commands. Repetition is key in learning these new medical terms and phrases. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and it was definitely worth the time I put in to improve my comprehension and speaking abilities. Give it a shot, you'll be grateful you did.

Dialogues for Medical Professionals. Pretty good

This audiobook is great for anyone looking to take their Spanish to the next level. The narrator is bilingual and sounds natural in both languages so I had no trouble comprehending what he was saying. I have an intermediate level of Spanish and always keeping an eye out for ways to improve my skill set. I found one of the best ways to reinforce the learnings is to implement a listen and repeat method while following along with the narrator. Each word and phrase begins with the Spanish word/phrase followed by the English translation. The narrator makes sure to review the basics, starting with the alphabet and numbers, and then goes into more advanced medical terminology. I learned a significant amount of new words and touched up on my previous learnings to boot! At the end of the daily lessons, there are real scenarios that medical professionals may find themselves in and how to navigate them with real dialogues between two or more characters. Overall a great learning tool.

Spanish Dialogues & Helpful Medical Terminology

This is the type of Spanish I wish I knew before taking the plunge and moving abroad to a few Spanish-speaking countries. As a medical professional working as a volunteer, I certainly wasn't prepared to deal with some of the emergency situations in Spanish. I really wish I had gotten a hold of something like this before taking the leap of coming to Central America. I feel this audiobook brought me up to speed on medical the terminology / jargon very quickly, but if we're being honest the true reason I enjoyed it is because it contains over 20+ different situations with real dialogues. I would definitely recommend this book simply because it's packed with more information than most offerings available.
