I found this article very interesting since it is based on how someone enters a new field, in this case, the character of the text who enters a health field and has to learn a new language. To adapt and relate to people around him, he learned health terminology and how the doctors would make themselves look like baseball players. This new language is sometimes done to change the dynamic since they have a lot of work stress and also to be very discreet when they are close to patients. I certainly identify with this article since I am in the same position, I am Colombian, and I have been here in NYC for two years. I am learning a new language to relate to the communities here.

One of the communities to which I belong now is the American culture. As I said before, I have only been here for a short time, so I have been learning English and improving it to communicate with the diverse culture found in this city. Things that helped me understand everything quickly were watching movies, listening to music, and reading everything in English, even if I had to translate things constantly. Recently at school, I am joining another community in the health field. I am learning new words and medical terms to relate not only with my classmates but also with the professors and eventually when I work and find myself surrounded in that world just like in the text.

I find it fascinating how people have to learn new languages ​​to communicate and integrate into these new communities, be it professional or due to circumstances such as school, going to a new place, or living in a new location. Learning new languages ​​is not only to integrate into a group but also to communicate with people to understand them and even help them if they ever need something, as in the text. Someone young learning to practice their career as a doctor and help the population be in good health. That is why I invite everyone to open their minds and always learn new things and even new languages to learn and get to know different cultures and communities. If at any time they need help, they know how to communicate with them.
