"Het leren van de Nederlandse taal was een grote uitdaging, maar doordat ik in Nederland werkte en leefde, ging het makkelijker. Na een basiscursus Nederlands volgde ik – vanuit het Talencentrum – een extra cursus ‘medisch Nederlands’. Docent Katja Verbruggen had zoveel gevoel voor humor. Zij liet ons zien hoe je op een makkelijke manier ziektes kon uitleggen aan een patiënt zonder medische achtergrond.”
