Strange....I'm surprised that Japanese would base it off German when all of the medical terminology in English is always from either Greek or Latin.

And yes, I did mean fluent when I said strong. Fluency is the bare minimum of course.
German has been considered a major medical language - even in the United States for more than 50 years. Latin is used, but being a dead language it is useless for more modern descriptive terms.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
