Tagged: MississippiPosted on: October 11th, 2007“The Hokey-Pokey in Spanish is just one way Holmes Community College Instructor Jana Rodriguez is teaching Ridgeland firefighters to help Spanish-speakers when they are involved in car accidents, fires, or abusive situations. The song helps firefighters learn Spanish terms for different body parts.
\”If we get into a situation where we don\’t understand what a person is saying, then there\’s no way we could possibly help them,\” James Stokes, a Ridgeland firefighter said.”
