Patricio Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Good evening. My name is Patricio Medina from Chile. I am the father of Olivia and Trinidad Medina. Olivia has billateral cochlear implants and Trinidad is a 2020 ideas4ears winner. We visited Innsbruck in june 2020. Spanish is my mother language, I am fluent in english and learning German on B1 level. I lived in Innsbruck for 3 months last year since march to June. I returned to Chile because of covid19 pandemic. I am an It professional and amateur photographer and videographer.(Instagram @patrickfototirol) Since Olivias diagnosis, me and my wife started a facebook page for spanish speaking parents of CI children (@padresimplantecoclear) and we have a strong compromise with helping and guiding other parents. I would like to express my interest and availability to become a hearpeers mentor in the spanish language. I would like to help other parents in the process of CI surgerys and therapy. Looking forward to your reply Sincerley Patricio Medina @MED-EL Moderator #innsbruck #ideas4ears Megan L., Mary Beth and tmscarlett10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmscarlett10 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 @Patricio, maybe you can help me improve my Spanish lol, just kidding 🙂 My mother and her side of the family are from El Salvador and Spain, and i grew up speaking Spanish. But my parents divorced when I was young, and I moved worth my dad or of state, and lost a lot of my Spanish. That's a really great thing you are doing! I hope you have good luck helping other Spanish speakers with CIs! ¡Buena suerte! Mary Beth and Patricio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
