The encounters
Flashcards teach lines.
Encounters teach the visit.
Each encounter is a short simulated patient visit. The patient speaks, you respond, and the choices compound the way they do on the floor. Every encounter contains one moment where the right answer isn’t a phrase at all. It’s knowing to call the interpreter.

The boundary
Where the phrases stop
Every encounter above ends at the same skill. This is the line itself, on one page: what is yours to say, what the interpreter carries, and the three questions that decide the gray zone.
