Vent Speak?

So I asked my patient's ICU nurse if my vent/trach patient speaks.

"Yes, but you have to be able to speak vent to understand him", she says.

Is this something you nurses learn in nursing school?

ADDENDUM:  Perhaps some day the MARTI interpreter system will have a vent speak or trachonese translator available as well.
