As the author of an English/Spanish dictionary I am interested in Spanish learning resources generally and have been following Joanna RÃ?Æ'Ã?'Ã?â? 'Ã?Æ'ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?Âos' work for nearly 30 years. The recently published 4th edition of her Complete Medical Spanish represents a remarkably ambitious undertaking in which she offers just about everything the student of medical Spanish could want. In addition to lessons in constructing the sort of phrases health professionals will want to use and understand, there are sections devoted to Spanish pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary (including COVID-19-related vocabulary), regionalisms, and usage, including warnings regarding terms that could be considered vulgar. Illustrations make the material easy to digest and exercises with an answer key reinforce what has been learned. Subjects given special attention include women's health, mental health, pediatric behavioral issues, nursing, physical therapy, complementary and alternative medicine, and more. Commonly used tools, such as the GAD-7, ACE, CAGE, OASIS, and MoCA questionnaires are included. This is an exhaustive work and I would give it 6 stars if I could.
