The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have additional skills to benefit their company if hired. Trinity Health has many patients who speak foreign languages, and they want to see if you speak any fluently to better serve their clientele.

Focus on describing any foreign languages you speak fluently. If you are not fluent in any other 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. Let the interviewer know you are open to taking foreign language classes to improve your skills if required for the position, showing your dedication to your profession.

"I am learning American Sign Language as my boyfriend is deaf. I have only been studying the language for one month, so I would not consider myself fluent yet. I speak conversational Spanish, but I would not consider myself fluent in that language, either. I took two years of Spanish in high school and have traveled three times to South America. I have always been able to understand the language and make myself understood, but I am interested in improving my skills."
