Vocabulary; Module 6.1 and Module 5.3

These are some important phrases I have learned plus some extra ones I have learned recently. I chose to showcase vocabulary because knowing these simple words I feel are the most important part out of anything I have learned. Not just to understand my patients but so that others understand me when something is wrong. Such as  "Quema" or "it Burns". Knowing this can help. The challenge was remembering words, but it was worth it.
