Spanish, you'll get more patients at school
I did spend 2 years on Spanish back in high school. Somehow I didn't find it interesting, so I never picked it up in college. The language I am learning right now is one of the Asian languages
Japanese by chance?
Le français! Learning a language enforces its own kind of discipline that I found useful. Gotta put effort into the unfamiliar.
Being able to say basic things like "You have an infection" "I need to give you an injection" etc etc are so easy to learn and will really help. There has to be a list of useful Spanish phrases for the dental office on Google.
Nihongo desu ka.
I know schools recommend being bilingual for a larger patient pool but the only one I'm for sure on that said being bilingual, in Spanish, that actually would give applicants a plus on their application, was Western.

I studied Chinese in high school and undergrad. I also spent time studying abroad in Beijing.
I have used my Chinese exactly 1 time and it was to tell a zoo guest that I understood what they were saying when they said my coworker had bad hair.

Yeah, they mentioned Spanish because most of the people that come in for treatment are Spanish-speaking.
I suck at Spanish. Tried really hard to roll my tongue to pronounce r and rr, but it never worked for me.
