Languages online. That reminds me that I'm taking BIO194 next semester. Ready for this? Greek & Latin Roots in Bio-Scientific Terminology.
Sound silly. But I really think it'll be good.
I took a medical terms and roots class too, it's actually very useful. But it's not a foreign language, you're just learning the etymology of English words. You learn some Greek and Latin grammar but it's very basic, just so you know things like the singular of "data" is "datum"
why wouldn't Dental schools notice the spanish class ? It is recommended for lots of D schools, just like nutrition, anatomy, sociology
Spanish is not officially listed as recommended courses at any of the schools I applied to (but those other courses like anatomy, physiology, psychology, sociology often are), so I don't know where these D schools are that you're talking about that do.
I know everyone says it's a good idea to learn Spanish (and it is), but only if you have a commitment to learning it and gain some level of proficiency (shown through the number of years you've taken it). It will be obvious if you only have 1 or 2 intro classes that you're padding your application.
If you want schools to "take notice" with just ONE Spanish class, I think you would be better off taking Spanish in a healthcare context if your school offers that for pre-health students. As for the regular route, you can barely use past tense and command forms at the end of the 2nd semester, so it's pretty useless if you don't keep going.
