Learning an additional language won't hurt mar... 
Rite? Besides, I find it much easier when I converse to patients...
I used to grow up without the knowledge of Mandarin and Cantonese,
but I picked it up along the way in KL and from the patients. It
was wonderful that the patients did not really laughed at me when I
was indeed trying very hard (sweating excessively) to converse to
them in Chinese. I can't find the right words, but eventually I
did, it took me quite long...
