This book is very clear and plainly written so I can learn necessary words and phrases - and it's easy to understand. Review: Great study tool for aspiring medical interpreters, too! - This book was written primarily for medical practitioners. However, it has been of great use to me as an aspiring medical interpreter. My study group used this book to prepare for our oral exam. It has great dialogues to practice from overall (in both English and Spanish!)
