hello welcome to my Channel Medical Assistant with Miss K if this is your first time here welcome if you are a returning viewer welcome back so today I am doing a live lesson on medical terminology for beginners this video was highly requested I've had quite a few people request this video um including a colleague of mine um so I finally got to finish um um this lesson here that I'm going to do today I got some feedback on some of my other live videos um the feedback was that I need to consider when people are watching a replay because if you've been following my channel for a while you know I do um live study sessions for the test and I did not realize that it was very distracting for people watching the replay so I'll be mindful of that while I'm doing this live lesson today so I will try to just go ahead and get through it and then if anybody joins live and has questions I will ask them at the end um so that way anybody watching replay is not distracted by me stopping doing the lesson and answering questions and things like that so I'm going to go ahead and get started with this lesson again this is medical terminology for beginners this is a lesson for people that's very new to medical terminology medical terminology is the very first step um very first thing that you learn um on um as far as um entering into the medical field whether you're whether you're taking the administrative medical assistant classes or the clinical side because this is going to be your foundation right and so I will say medical terminology you know you're literally learning a whole new language okay so um if you've already had experience with medical terminology this right here will be very easy for you at very Elementary for you but for those of you that's new to terminology um I hope that this lesson is helpful um medical terms are derived from both Greek and Latin all right so let's talk about parts of a word okay so these are things of course we learned back in elementary school right but some people for forget you know and so um I do want to make sure I go ahead over the parts of a word first right um so we the different word parts right so we have a root word right so the root word is usually the middle right that's the main part of the word now the root word in the medical term usually relates to a part of the body but not always okay um and then we have the prefix that's the beginning of the word the prefix normally describes a location of the word um the size right and you'll see that once we get to the prefix part of the lesson um but prefix a lot of people get the prefix and suffix mixed up but just think of pre pre is before right so prefix goes before the root right and then that brings us to the I'm sorry I accidentally um went ahead sorry about that I don't know what I hit sorry about that so that's the root word the middle part of the word the main part and we have the prefix that's the beginning of the word that this describes the word then we have the suffix that's the end then so usually a procedure or condition okay and in most medical terms I will tell you this a lot of medical terms we read from the suffix um to the beginning we read from the end of the word to the beginning of the word and you'll see what I mean in just a moment all right so let's um look at some of um some a rule for um medical terms first of all let's talk about this combining vowel so the combining vowel is usually an O Okay it joins the root word to the suffix okay so the combining vowel joins the root word which we said is the main part of the word right it joins a root word to a suffix the combining vowel also joins two Roots together because in some cases you will have a medical term that has two root words in it okay so every medical term is not necessarily just going to um have a prefix a root word and a suffix right it may just have you know a prefix and a prefix and a root or a root and a suffix right or two roots in a suffix right um and then a combining form is what we form is what we have Once We join the root word with the combining vowel okay um now very important rule when you are joining your um combining vowel in your suffix you want to drop when I'm sorry when you're joining your uh root word and your suffix you want to drop that combining vowel so you're going to drop the combining vowel before combining with a suffix that begins with a vowel okay so that combining vowel that we said is normally an O when we're joining a root word to a suffix that begins with a file we're going to drop that o if we're if we're combining um the root word to a suffix that begins with a consonant then we keep the combining vowel okay now you'll see down here that I haven't read that we keep the vowel no matter um we keep the vowel no matter what if we're joining two root words and so we'll look at that in a moment we'll see examples of that so again combining biology oh we use that to join the root words or suffix or two Roots together all right and then we want to of course drop the combining vowel before combining with a suffix that begins with a vowel keep the combining vowel before combining with the suffix that that begins with a consonant and either way when we're joining two Roots even if the second root begins with a vowel we still keep the combining vowel okay and we'll we'll see some examples of that because if if you're brand new to medical terminology this may be confusing to you right now but you'll see it exactly what I mean in a moment all right so let's look at this all right so let's look at the root word gastro now I just want to keep I just want to point out though gastro because the O is already combined to this this is what we call a combining form because I already have the O so most medical terms you'll see already with the O combined to it but don't be surprised if you just see just g-a-s-t-r just gassed right by itself and you may have to join it to the O Okay I point that out because some of my students get confused they're like in this K how come sometimes it says gastro sometimes it's just um you know just gash by itself in this case when it says gastro this is because the O has already been um has already been combined okay so gastro gastro is a root word that means stomach now suffix I use itis um which means inflammation of this is going to be I'll use this a lot in this lesson um it's a suffix that means inflammation of it's called Ida so usually when we write the root words it'll already um have the O attached and you it'll look like this not a suffix is always going to look like this with the dash in front because I've had students ask me too how do I know when I see the word Parts how do I know if it's a suffix or root word or um or prefix the suffix will have to dash in front of it prefix is always going to have to dash right after it and then the root word will usually look just like this with the O already attached and sometimes it may not have the O attached all right so as I mentioned the rule is when we're joining a root word to a suffix that begins with a vowel remember I said we have to drop the O so when we go to combine gastro toitis right we're going to drop the O and it becomes gastritis all right now I will tell you guys this when learning when learning medical terminology it's usually easier to learn to read it and I think most languages are like that when you're learning a new language it's usually easier to read it than it is to write it um so with this because we know that itis is inflammation of right and we know that gastro is stomach gastritis right has the mean inflammation of the stomach now remember I mentioned that most terms we read from the beginning from the end to the beginning so we say inflammation of the stomach now that wouldn't mean that you're incorrect if you say stomach inflammation right um but this is just an example of how most of the time we read it from the suffix to the beginning so this is inflammation of the stomach now notice I did put the incorrect way to write it out here if we had not dropped the O it would have been gastroitis but remember that um suffix began with a vow so we had to drop that combining up okay so that's gastritis inflammation of the stomach now if you happen to be watching this anything that I mentioned on here that you don't already have in your nose or maybe you're already in school and you know you've already been learning terminology if you happen to see something here um on this lesson that you don't have in your notes already added if you don't already have a flash card with a term mentioned with the term that I mentioned added I always tell my students anytime you hear a new term add it to your notes all right so that's gastritis inflammation of the stomach now and if you just read that with me you have just done your very first um medical term okay it's a matter of just combining the two so knowing how to write it out first of all which we already know we're gonna drop the O if the if the suffix starts with a vowel right we know we're going to keep the oath it starts with a consonant and then it's just a matter of putting it together and we say this inflammation of the stomach right all right so let's look at another one so gastro we already said that means stomach right we know that gastro is stomach now let's look at this suffix suffix low G which means the study of now I want to point out one other thing just in case people get confused sometimes the O and hopefully this is not confusion for people who just learned a medical terminology but sometimes you may even see the O already attached to the suffix so you may see ology so don't be confused if you see ology or you see loji okay allergy just means that the O is already attached to the suffix okay so logi is the study of now when we combine gastroenterology because low G starts with a consonant we're going to go ahead and keep that oh okay so it becomes Gastrology and logi is a study of so that and gastro with stomach so that means that Gastrology is the study of the stomach okay Gastrology is the study of the the stomach all right hopefully you guys are with me for those of you that are brand new to medical term all right so um again same root word stomach okay gastro with your stomach right now we're going to combine it with lodges okay again you may see the O already attached which is allergist okay you just in case you're confused so low just refers to Specialists right or one who studies or specializes in okay so if we combine gastroenterologist again we're going to keep the O because Lo just starts with a consonant so it becomes gastrologist so if gastro is stomach and logis refers to Specialists or one who studies or specializes in what is gastrologist what is gastrologist gastrologist is one who studies or specializes in a stomach or you might just say stomach Specialists right so again you guys have read uh several um terms now you've created several terms now so alrighty let's look at the next one so let's look at a different root word let's look at entero okay and Terro refers to the intestine right so if we look at suffix if we look at the suffix low G or ology in this case I went on ahead and put the O there okay so if we look at ology which is the study of again and we combine it with we combine integral and ology in this case the O is there so we're going to drop that o right and it becomes enterology and terrible is intestine um low ology is the study of Soul becomes a study of the intestine right look at you read the medical term alrighty so let's combine these two root words together let's do that so we we you've done a couple exercises where you've combined a root word to a suffix now let's combine two root words because I told you remember sometimes the work some some terms may have um two root words and some terms may even have more than two two or three root words in it okay and so let's combine gastro with Antero with ologist and what does that become I'll wait just a second so gastro plus and Tarot plus allergies we combine that's to read gastroenterologist okay gastro with stomach and several is intestine so what is this one who specializes in the stomach and small intestines or the stomach and intestines right notice how we kept the vowel between the roots so remember the rule was that we keep the vowel even if the next root word begins with a vowel remember on dropping an O only refers to joining a root word and a suffix but when we're doing the two root words we want to keep that o either way so it's gastro and Tarot now in this case combining Antero to ologist we will drop that o right and it becomes gastroenterologist one who specializes in the stomach and intestines hope you guys are with me I see that there are some people on here live if you happen to have any questions I'm going to answer them at the end because I don't want this to be a distraction for people that may be watching the replay okay so I'll answer any questions I go back at the end and answer any questions you guys have alrighty so now let's look at another root word cardio right cardio which means the heart right and then we have still sticking with ology right the study of so if cardi means the heart and ology means the study of Cardiology is the study of the heart okay now let's combine that with ologist or logis right cardiologist is a heart specialist or one who studies the heart how do we know that because again cardio is heart low just is Specialist or one who studies okay so as you can see again for those of you that's brand new to medical terminology you're just hearing this for the first time as you can see this is simply how we read medical terms it's just important to know the meaning of the word Parts in the word and for those of you that are going to be taking your certification exams soon medical terminology for some of you guys are going to be the difference between getting an answer right or wrong because some of those questions is really just going to come down to you knowing a word knowing your word parts for an example if you see um a um if you see a question about maybe the patient had a um a echocardiogram and it um that means that the patient is um is getting a procedure or they're seeing a specialist of the and they'll have heart lung kidney liver right you'll know that it's hard because you know okay echocardiogram cardio is hard so I use that to say I use that example to say that some answers are literally just going to be a matter of knowing your medical terms okay all right so let's continue all right so um anybody watching a replay this will be a good time for you to pause it and write these words down if you're watching with me live you can you know jot those D's down to your notes um but let's look at some root words pertaining to the body I usually tell people to start with learning your body parts this is how I always start my students I start with just um um very common root words always relating to the body okay so we got hepato which means liver so when you see this within a term you know it has something to do with the liver right cholecysto is gallbladder okay splendo is spleen pancreato is pancreas adreno is adrenal gland nephro is kidney Reno is also kidney okay Pomo and pulmono refers to the lungs pneumo also refers to the lungs now notice if you notice sometimes you'll see medical terms um that mean the same thing right so right like nephron Reno both refer to kidney um pulmono and pneumo both refer to the lungs right and then we have Cola which refers to the colon large intestine and then we have cysto down at the bottom which refers to the bladder now that cysto is not referring um to assist as like you like you may you know like like you may you know the cysts that you think is actually referring to the bladder okay um all right so let's combine hepato and itis so itis we already know that that means inflammation of right and we said hapato refers to what do we say hapana refers to the liver so if we join hypoto to itis first of all we're going to keep the O are we going to drop the o so itis begins with a vowel so we're going to drop that o and it becomes hepatitis which the medical term which is a medical term for inflammation of the liver right so hepatoplasitis is inflammation of the liver okay all right so let's look at some more let's define the following terms together so let's look at cystitis so by now you everybody knows what itis means it means inflammation of right so cysto we said it meant what bladder so this is cystitis we drop that o and cysto combined with itis cystitis will be what you guys can tell me in the um comment section let's look at the next one cholecyst though combined with itis is cholecystitis right then we have carditis right what do we say cardio refers to then we have nephritis right nephro referred to what and then we have pancreatitis right pancreatic combined with itis now what is that give you guys a second if you want to put it in the comments you can if you're watching a replay you can you know take a moment to see if you know these kind of test yourself before I go to the next slide so we have cystitis cholecystitis carditis nephritis and pancreatitis we all know that itis is inflammation of so we know that the conditions all of these conditions are inflammatory conditions right we know that all right so let's see alrighty so cystitis is going to be inflammation of the bladder cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder because we know that cholecysts though referred to gallbladder carditis cardiomet heart right so that's inflammation of the heart nephro refer to kidney right so that's inflammation of the kidney pancreado refers to pancreas so that's inflammation of the pancreas so you got it so those of you that's learning medical terminology for the first time as you can see all we're doing is reading the terms right based on what we know them based on what we know the medical work the word parts to me right all right so more root words relating to the body more root words relating to the body let's look at these so we have um arthro which means joints right cephalo means head encephalo is brain now I'll give you guys a little hint here we haven't got to prefixes yet but N means and or within okay and then so if you look at these two people get the cephalon encephalo mixed up right they get the head and brain mixed up ceph Lois head encephalo within the head is the brain right so think of that all right cervical means neck now this is not cervical like the cervix okay um uh the Rocco or the Russo means chess some say the right so some say the Barraco when we combine it we actually say um what we actually say the Rocco so I'll say the Rocco um dermo or actually when we combine it with um IC we say the red six so the red so the Rocco either way I dermo or dermato is skin or dermis um noro is nerve um hemo and Hamato is blood Mayo is muscle okay that I was waiting for this to this line to disappear I don't know if you guys can see this like I can um and then Osteo is bone hopefully you guys can see that that line at the bottom keeps coming up I don't know if you guys can see it too all right so this is a good time to pause it to write these down um these are more root words pertaining to the body again I always start off with learning root words pertaining to the body so that way when you're seeing your terms whether you're reading your book or looking at an article or whatever reading something or whatever you know what you at least know the body part um that the word is pertaining to okay this is why in the beginning you do want to focus on learning the root words relating to the body okay all right so let's define some more terms here we go again with the itis right it is this is I do this with my with my um actual students as well um starting out we just um create just all kinds of terms using one or two suffixes until we get the hang of it all right so we got arthritis so all throw combined with itis we dropped that o and all throw combined it with itis dermatitis we combine their motto with itis right neuro we combine neural withitis then we have myocarditis oh wait a minute it looks like it's two root words in this word we have Mayo and we have cardio combined with Ibis now okay two root words mayo and cardio combined with itis give you guys a moment to look at those arthritis arthro means what dermatitis dermato or Derma means what neuritis neuro means what myocarditis Mayo refers to what cardio refers to what alrighty so arthritis that's inflammation of a joint Arthur means joint dermatitis is inflammation of the skin their motto means skin neuritis is inflammation of a nerve because nervo means nerve right myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle okay so my myocardial refers to the heart muscle so we know Mayo is is muscle we know cardio is Heart Right myocardial refers to the heart muscle okay so myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle all righty let's see what we got next all right so now let's check a cardio pulmonologist is one who specializes in the what and the what again we have two root words we have cardio and we have palmino those are two root words that refers to what cardio refers to heart you know that and then if you look back at your the notes you just took palmino means what a cardio pulmonologist is one who specializes in the what and the what cardiopulmonologist is one who specializes in the heart and lungs okay cardio with heart pulmono is lungs so that is a specialist who's who specializes in the heart and the lungs all right so these are some common suffixes so um I don't have prefixes in this lesson I'll do that in another lesson but I'm starting you guys off the same way I start my archery students in class we go through some common body parts and we go through some common suffixes We join those together and then we start bringing the prefixes in okay so right now we just want to focus on the suffixes which is the end of the word right so as you can see the first um uh this first one here pertaining to has several um suffixes right it has several all of these each refer to pertaining to okay so when you see these used this means pertaining to okay now a lot of times that you'll see I will tell you this will already have the pertaining to um will already have the pertaining to a suffix attached and when we look at an example in a minute I believe it's on the next slide you'll see what I mean okay all right so then we have Oma which is tumor or Mass um pathy which is disease osis is conditional abnormal condition is condition of we have penia here which is the crease below or lower than normal Amia is relating to a blood condition so remember we saw we saw hemo and hemata which refers to blood that was the root word okay this is a suffix that refers to blood okay Amia refers to blood condition um algaea is pain philia is the love of phobia is fear of and ipinia is breathing so ebony is breathing don't get that ipnia confused with penis a lot of people get those confused and pronounce that ebony as penia that's not penia that is ipnia okay and ipnia refers to breathing all right more common suffixes now these are related to procedures now one thing I will tell you too knowing your suffixes is also well non-medical terminology period is going to like I said it's a difference between it's going to be the difference between getting some of those answers right when you guys go to take the certification but knowing your suffixes this is going to separate procedures from conditions right if we if you if you remember some of those suffixes most of those suffixes we just looked at they all were relating to conditions right so if you see a suffix that ended and that ended and if you saw a term that ended in ISM you know that it's not a procedure you know that that's some kind of condition because ISM refers to condition right if you saw what was another one um um what was another one we just saw uh like Oma right you know that refers to Tuma that doesn't that can't be a procedure because that's a condition right that's all right so let's look at these so we got ectomy ectomy means excision or surgical removal of so if you see something that if you see a term that ends in ectomy you automatically know that it's the surgical removal of that organ or of that body part right out of me is incision or cutting into okay um ostomy now a lot of people end up getting ostomy and otomy mixed up atomy is incision and cutting into ostomy okay notice there's an S at it it's not Autumn is ostomy is cutting into to make a hole okay cutting into to make a whole or or you may see um artificial opening you may see artificial opening as a um definition okay so ostomy is uh and cutting into to make a whole or artificial opening okay for some kind of connection okay um scopey or scopy is to view okay um graphy I don't know why this Arrow keeps turning around like that um graphy or graph is a process of recording Graham is recording notice how this air you guys I don't know if you guys can see the arrow it keeps turning around all right Graham is recording um plasti is surgical repair therapy refers to treatment synthesis is puncture of a cavity to remove fluid Rafi is suture of okay so uh many people get plastic and Rafi mixed up so plastic is surgical repair okay use the oven organ right um and then raffia's suture of okay so suture stitches right so Sutra uh so that means to you know to suture something or to fix it right or to mend it okay so it's not the same as the surgical repair alrighty so let's add some together now this is what I meant when I said um well let's put it together first and I'll tell you what I mean what I was talking about so gastro plus IC IC is a suffix meaning what pertaining to right so we combine those two first of all I see is a vowel right I is a vowel so we're going to drop that o and then Reno combining it to a l which also means what pertaining to you want to combine those call a cysto ectomy is a vowel so we're going to drop that o right when we combine those two Colo and ostomy ostomy is a vowel so of course we're going to drop the o on Colo we're going to combine cysto and otomy otomy of course is a vowel it starts with a vowel so we're going to drop the O when we combine those so let's look at what we got here okay so gastro is pertaining to the stomach now this is what I was talking about when I was talking about those pertaining to um suffixes are usually already um combined to a term so gastric right A lot of times when you see gastric when you see gastro you already see it combined to um IC to mean gastric that just means pertaining to the stomach same thing with renal so pertaining to the kidney most of the time when you see renal renal you'll already see it combined to the AL suffix to say renal okay so that's what I meant when I said that most of the time the pertaining to suffix is already attached to most medical terms so don't be surprised you know if you see a question that says you know what this gastric mean of course we know it means pertaining to the stomach they may not say gastro it may just say gastric okay same thing with renal they may not have the Reno r-e-n-o they may just say renal okay all right so now cholecystectomy right we said ectomy refers to surgical removal of right and then gallbladder is called a cyst right so cholecystectomy is surgical removal of the gallbladder all right colostomy we said Colo is colon ostomy is cutting into to create an opener or whole so a colostomy means to cut it to the colon to create an opening or hole okay use it for a colostomy bag cystodomy cysto is the bladder otomy is cutting into so cystotomy means cutting into the bladder see there you go read the medical terminology again all right let's look at some more hemo we want to combine epithelia now philia starts with a consonant so we're not going to need to drop that o right we can keep that o Mayo we're going to join to algaea or algae right um and that's and that's a vowel the a is a vowel so we're going to keep that o I'm sorry we're going to drop that o all through we're gonna uh combine that to synthesis which starts with a consonant so we'll keep that o um hemo again we said that was blood we're going to combine that the phobia which starts with a consonant so we'll keep that o nor row we're going to combine that sarafi which starts with a consonant so we're going to keep that o all right hemophilia the medical term meaning the love of blood and hemophilia is actually a blood clotting disorder in which a person's um platelets are not um working um uh not necessary well a person with a hemophilia they may have a low platelet count or they may not necessarily have a low platelet count but they have a disorder in which the platelets are not clotting the blood like it's supposed to so in that case the person um they bleed out any like a slight cut can make them bleed out they may have easily bleeding of the nose or gums um right so that's actually a blood clotting disorder um myalgia that's muscle pain myalgia is muscle pain arthrocentesis we say arthro is joint and we say synthesis is a puncture of a joint to remove fluid is puncture of a cavity to remove fluid so since teases arthrocentesis is puncture of a joint to remove fluid let me go back to that last slide thank God let me see something hold on one second guys I need to go back and see something because I might have oh okay sorry okay I wanted to make sure I didn't Define synthesis with joint I I defined it with cavity I wanted to make sure sorry about that all right so um puncture of a joint to remove fluid because all throw we know means joints um and synthesis of is puncture of a cavity to remove fluid hemophobia we know hemo is blood phobiosphere neurography is neural is nerve Rafi means surgical uh surgical suture anub so we know we know neuropathy is Surgical sutrant of a nerve of a could be of a separate nerve or divided nerve all right so let's look at this now we have two root words again that we're combining cardio plus Maya we're going to combine that with the suffix pathy okay the Rocco or the raso we're going to combine that with ottoming okay Hamato we're going to combine with Oma nephro we're going to combine with ectomy and Nouveau we're going to combine with pathy now and again by noun you already should have the hang of which terms you're going to keep the O and which terms in which you're going to drop the O right you are you should have the you should have a hang of it by now right um the suffixes that begins with a vowel of course we drop the O's the suffix that be over consonant of course we keep the O's and root to root we keep the o no matter what okay so this just happens to start with a consonant but even if it started with a vowel we would still keep the O because join the two root words we always keep the up okay all right so let's look at this cardiomyopathy so cardiomyo refers to the heart muscle right um pathy is disease so cardiomyopathy is disease of the heart muscle okay um thoracotomy otomy we say this cutting into and thoraco or thoraca we said is the chest right cutting into the chest hematoma Hema we say this Blood Oma we said is tumor or mass right so hematoma that's a collection of blood in a body tissue or organ right so if we look at it just a medical term itself that would mean a mass or tumor filled with blood right so hematoma is a collection of blood and a body tissue or organ and if we look at it just for what it is hematoma which is if we if we just Define it as a bloody tumor right or tumor filled with blood um nephro plus ectomy nephro is kidney eczema surgical removal of cell surgical removal of the kidney is nephrectomy and then let me let that line disappear down there there we go okay and then neuropathy neuro is nerve pathy is disease so neuropathy is nerve disease so you have been those of you that's brand new medical terminology be proud of yourself because you have been reading and joining some medical terms today um I just um have a few tips for you guys same thing I tell my students you want to create flash cards you can use actual index cards or you can use Quizlet so you know the website quizlet.com you can create flashcards there there are people who have flash cards already made there so you can utilize those but I recommend making your own I also recommend um having a family member a friend quiz you so if you do have index cards physical index cards just go ahead and um you know write them down you want to have your um on when you when you create your flash cards on one side you'll have the medical term and on the other side you'll have the body parts so like for an example gastro you have on one side and then stomach you'll have on another side or if you want excuse me you can have it on both sides you know whatever works for you but you definitely want to have a family member or friend quiz you okay another thing you want to do is consistently create terms out of your word Parts okay so if you're new to medical terminology you're having trouble with it I I give my students assignments where they have to constantly create words out of their word part so they get it they have to do it constantly because when you're consistent with practicing it gets better as I mentioned you know um um when you're first learning you know it's it's gonna you know it's gonna be difficult right but you got to keep them in front of you you got to keep them in front of you in the beginning you want to focus on parts of the body okay this is how I always start focusing on parts of the body then I go into the suffix it's common suffixes and then I start going into the prefixes so I'll do another lesson another time with the prefixes so today we cover roots and some suffixes next time I'll do some prefixes and we'll combine words with the prefix root word and suffix we'll do some of those um also another thing you can do read those medical news articles online to see what you've retained so you know once you start learning medical term just pull them up you know you can literally Google medical news articles or you know medical journals and just kind of read I mean it's good to know what's going on in the in in the medical field anyway and then you got to get your CEUs anyway so you want to be reading up on this stuff anyway and then just kind of see what you've retained like you be surprised when you start reading and stuff and you're like wait a minute oh this has to do with the heart or this has to do with the kidney and it could be a long 20 letter word but guess what because you recognize the root words in that word you know okay this is dealing with the heart of the kidney or you know you may see ectomy and you know okay this is a surgical removal or something you know so this is what I mean when I say keep it in front of you and also I would say just give yourself Grace and space to learn because you are learning a brand new language you know that's one of the things I tell my students because I do get people who are very frustrated with themselves like I can't get it this is hard it's okay learning anything in the beginning can be hard the key is to to stick with it right and to give yourself some Grace all right all right let me see I see I got some questions in here see I got a few comments on here um let's see hey guys hey star I'm good hey Leticia I'm good thank you um oh congratulations Sarita congratulations
