Interpreter Training (Part 1) 

It is never late to become an interpreter, if you have strength and desire, and more important are proficient in two languages, at least.

She could notes when doing consecutive interpretation. When he said his children's ages, I would have totally written them down.

The side conversation thing is really important. It can destroy the whole relation between the parties when suspicion becomes a factor.

1:45 the guy already know what it means before the interpreter translate lol

This video is amazing!! Full of real life scenarios.

This is my dream. I wish I could be an interpreter like her.

"Ok" "Estamos bien" I chuckled

Part 1 & 2 are wonderful teaching tools. I teach a basic skills interpreting class and it's really valuable for students to see the differences between the 'untrained' and ' trained' interpreters. Thanks so much for making these videos available.

I've seen people interpret in the third person before. I like your explanation.

Spanish-speaking man: "Pues él estaba en el camión de la escuela, camino a casa, y hubo dos muchachos que comenzaron a molestarlo, y le trataron de quitar su dinero-o le quitaron su dinero-y le pegaron, y le marcaron un ojo." Interpreter: "There were some boys on the bus who hit him in the eye." Literally me when I have to interpret for my parents because they don't speak Spanish. Lmao.

Excellent video! When interpreting, how can you get parties to stop babbling? I usually raise my hand so I can get a chance to interpret everything said. When my clients don't stop talking I feel like I can't remember everything mentioned. Sometimes I have them repeat. This causes a delay.

Excellent video, I am glad because that's how I've been doing on my jobs...except by the side conversation...maybe I should change that

This is really helpful, I am going to be an interpreter at a seminar without any experience. Thank you a lot.

Thank you very much for sharing the video!

Im going to be volunteering as an interpreter what should I do if I iever dont understand a word I'm supposed to translate?

I wish I could go back to school and become an interpreter... But I am old (well, middle aged, I should say) and have a well paid job and career... What should I do?

I was wondering if it is ok to clarify some things before beginning a consecutive interpretation, like asking both parts to try and use short sentences and speak slowly when possible.

This is so easy to get this Certification.

Thanks a lot. That was very useful.

Very good.If you can make other videos for greek and french to english i will be very happy :)

es dificil memorizar todo lo que dice y repetirlo

how to act when there are not words or equivalent expressions in the other language? In this case you will need to omit or substitute them. For example many words and expression in English don't exist in my mother tongue language.

We need more information about consecutive translation

I can understand dialogues made by native speakers, but I can't understand a formal speech with long and complicated sentences. What should I do to overcome this barrier? I give you two examples as follows. "Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, and alumni - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us. I leave with a full heart, grateful for the opportunity I have had to lead this university." "In 2001, the United Nations General Assembly declared 21 May as World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development to highlight the importance of the values of peace and solidarity. The Day is meant as a signal to those who seek to sow divisions among human beings that such attempts will always be resisted by those who believe in the far greater forces of tolerance and mutual understanding." I don't understand them when I listen to them. How can I overcome this barrier?

Honduras

Mi hijo habla muy bien ingles y español como puedo irlo preparando para ser interprete medico, gracias.

How can I become an interpreter for a school?

The interpreter certification process is a fucking joke. I was told I failed by idiots who couldn't agree if I was using invented words or not. My sister in southern California commented to a friend and the woman laughed and said " my dad is a certified interpreter and he says to be certified it's more who you know than what you know."

That is too hard to learn ...I do not think I will speak English that fast...

Did she really learn Spanish in Honduras? , I am from La Ceiba LOL

i have serious concerns about the accuracy of this interpreter on the video... Just saying!

signora parla molto veloce così non possiamo capire bene

A lot of the words used on this videos are not accurate.

Thank you!
