Cape Town brings people from all over the world through the door. So I ask every patient to teach me a word or two of their language.
Consultations are in English, and I’m fluent in Afrikaans. I can greet you in about 20 more languages, from isiXhosa and Shona to Norwegian and Portuguese. My French stretches as far as asking whether this spot is sore. The goal is to speak a few of them properly by the end of my career.
