thanks everyone, so far i've picked up a few words, phrases and sentences that have been able to help me so far my 1st week lol.. but towards the end of the week, the patietns thought i was fluent in spanish and would go on and on and on.. and i'm like AHH! lol one of them got mad at me because they said it was a shame i don't speak spanish.. i told them i was born here, and i don't even speak my own language (tagalog) i understand it, just can't speak it (i sound like a fool lol).. and they thought i was hispanic hence the reason why they said it was a shame lol.. i don't know.. oh well
i bought a book in hopes i'll learn.. so we'll see
