Focus on describing any foreign languages you speak fluently. If you are not fluent in another language, tell the interviewer of any classes you have taken and how you would rate your skills. For example, if you had two years of Spanish in high school and can speak a little conversational Spanish, explain that in your response. Be sure to let the interviewer know you are open to taking foreign language speaking classes to improve your skills, showing your dedication to the profession.

"I am fluent in American Sign Language as my mother is deaf. I also speak conversational Spanish, but I would not consider myself fluent. I took two years of Spanish in high school and have traveled extensively to Latin countries. I have always been able to understand the language and make myself understood, but I am interested in improving my skills."

"I am 90% fluent in Spanish, and 100% fluent in German as my family is originally from Germany. Some Hispanic patients I have had said my Spanish is perfect, but I feel I need additional work on my past tense verb conjugations. I am working with an online tutor and think I will be 100% fluent in Spanish in the next month or two."
