FireMedic65 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I also took 4yrs of French in High School. Mostly because the girls in the class were hot. Like most everyone else, it was the "wrong" choice in the long run. The German students went to Germany by their SR year, same with the Spanish class. The French class, we had a pizza party.. FRENCH BREAD PIZZA!
maverick56 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I've got you all beat - Ojibwa. Yup, that's right, I grew up near reservation land and it was required in elementary school. Not the most useful real-world language and I don't remember much.

spenac Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Glad to see that some appreciate someone giving something back to emergency providers. Hopefully if they win they can make the site more user friendly. I like the idea some mentioned of posting on other sites. Maybe others will take off with that and lets get some money to help these people help us communicate with our patients.
EMSPROFESSIONAL Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Tremendous ideal mate. It saddens me to see so many "so called educated" people that are so afraid to learn a new language that they choose to ridicule rather than attempt. In my travels many poor third world people speak multiple languages yet in the US most do not even speak one language properly. I guess the riches here just take away the motivation to advance our minds. I hope all take advantage of this great free opportunity to improve themselves and their patient communications. 1

I really hope this organization will get enough support to win the money. While I speak some Spanish any free help is greatly appreciated.
itku2er Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Spenac has given me some more places to learn spanish if you want to. I am trying to learn it and he does have some great help sites.
