Medical Vocabulary is difficult for everyone, even English speakers. Can you pronounce these words? I can't. But,  I just discovered a great website that has a pronunciation resource on it. They even describe symptoms, medical topics and additional resources. Check it out. Merck Manuals Consumer Version.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.  Leonardo da Vinci
 


Learning to ride a bike or speak a new language isn’t very useful until you practice it. You make adaptations you need to be successful. What’s important is learning HOW to learn. That’s something we can do daily.
 
The important thing is to integrate what we’ve learned by applying it. It’s been said, that if you learn a new word and use it three times, it’s yours for good. This works for Accent Modification, as well. Use what you learn immediately, apply it, put it into your daily conversation, so it becomes yours for good.
