Hi Becky You can use this resource https://www.healthtranslations.vic.gov.au/site-14468/resources/cue-cards You could also use the cue cards on Golden carers https://www.goldencarers.com/cue-cards-for-dementia-care/4744/ You may have to adapt and modify them to your particular needs I have used Google and type in a sentence in English and then said in Spanish the sentence comes up and the little microphone by it will play it I do not know how many languages you can use but it’s worth a try There are also translation apps that you can use
My situation is different. I'm a Japanese background. Most of my residents use English as a mother tongue. When I conduct "Cross Word Puzzle", "Tongue Twisters" or "Story Telling", sometimes they show me their puzzled faces. I ask "What did I say?" After spelling out the word, they pronounce the word correctly for me. The room turned to an English class room. Most of time they are happy to teach me and I use this as an activity.
I use this technique for other language culture people. So we learn a few different words in French, Dutch, South Africana, Germany, etc.
Sooooo happy and thankful I have this medium as it saves so much time and energy collecting info and collating it. Thank you everyone for all your ideas it covers sooo much!
