Japanese at the clinic by specialty: pediatrics, dermatology, ENT, ophthalmology, prenatal care and childbirth. Illness names, doctors' questions, words on the medical form.
When you take your child to the doctor in Japan, the hardest part isn't speaking — it's understanding the doctor's questions and reading the paper they give you. Split by specialty so you learn exactly what you need, not a whole medical dictionary.
The content covers illness names, body parts, the questions doctors and nurses often ask, and the words printed on medical forms — things you must read right at the counter, with no time for a dictionary.
One session of study beforehand beats sitting in the clinic guessing, then realizing at home that you misunderstood the instructions.
