The goal of Level 3 is to improve knowledge of health care and medical terminology in English and Spanish. Both formal and informal terminology will be reviewed, including pronunciation and definition of terms. Participants will complete their plan of study by learning and reviewing terminology grouped by systems of the body and creating scenarios for role plays, thereby contextualizing the terms in realistic situations.

Participants will be exposed to high register and colloquial terminology; proper positioning when interpreting in person; interpreter modes; Hispanic traditional healing terminology; sight translation; and introduced to Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes.
