Supposedly the terms and names you learn as a doctor are comparable to a new language

Can confirm, med school was essentially just a giant exercise in secondary language acquisition

What would you recommend as a memorization project for the basics for lay people? I recall memorizing the circulatory system names of veins/arteries in high school for fun. I feel like I need to memorize the basics. Not first aid/cpr type stuff but general knowledge.
