Review of Medically Speaking RULES

Communication Tip
Proper nouns are geographical locations such as continents, countries, states, cities, islands, bodies of water, parks, roadways, mountains, tourist attractions, museums, hospitals, airlines or cruise lines, sports teams, publications, and people's names and titles. In two word proper nouns, each name is spelled with a capital letter and the stress is on the second word; for example, Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in Southern California.
Here's an interesting exception: For streets, we stress the first word; for example, Smith Street vs. Park Avenue. Did you know that? | |
Coming in the Summer
Many of our colleagues around the country have been asked to develop a curricullum for international nurses and physicians. Please look for the Medically Speaking Classroom Package later this summer You will find everything you need to conduct large size accent modification classes for healthcare professionals. We will include PowerPoints, idiom word lists, quizzes, and more activities that can be used with Medically Speaking and Medically Speaking RULES.
If there is something you would like to see in the package, please contact us. |
