- I love languages. I spent that last few years trying to fit language learning into my schedule, which was not easy.
I don't consider that I speak 8 languages, but I have studied all of them to some extent in the past few years.
The level of proficiency needed to conduct a thorough medical assessment in a language is very high, which I would only be comfortable doing in English or French. Also, it is still somewhat rare to have patients who do not speak at least a little English, or have family at the bedside to translate for them. So honestly, all of this learning remains a hobby, and I wouldn't call it "useful" for medicine, other than being more open-minded about others' cultures.
