Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry

Use it or lose it!

Conversations use signals to create a back-and-forth discourse. Interpreters should make use of these signals, features of discourse, to make the conversations flow naturally, as though the interpreter is not there.

Back channeling signals, use them or regret it.

What's happening!!!?? Don't worry. I've got your back.

Not knowing what's going to happen is half the fun AND it promotes creativity from the nervous energy it gives us.

Let's talk about not preparing for everything.

Thank you. No, thank you.

How do you accept compliments for your services as a sign language interpreter?

They say wonderful, thanks. You say what? Let's discuss that in under 10 minutes.

It pays the bills.

Sam Chew from Malaysia continues sharing his journey as a spoken language and signed language interpreter. We learn the philosophies or rather the approaches he has developed about both modes of interpreting. It's more about people than language, or is it? Listen now to find out.

You don't understand? Well, then you don't know Chinese!

Sam Chew and I discuss spoken language vs signed language interpreting. We touch on AI, notes, feelings of certainty or uncertainty in interpreting and how it differs between using signed or spoken languages.

Say what?! What kind of language is that?

Yes, we need to at least know the language to interpret it. This week Sam Chew from Malaysia starts the conversation about the sign language profession there. We learn the fundamental numbers and aspects, but he tosses in a few topics that are unique to Malaysia. This is the beginning of a beautiful visit.

Gee, thanks a lot...

We don't always get a "Thank you" when interpreting. Do we need it? Does it help?

Let's have a quick chat about it.

Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies...

Today we discuss integrity and everything associated with it in our sign language interpreting profession. We sometimes think it's best to be quiet. Maybe not saying the truth is best. We would be better off not saying something, because it may be taken the wrong way or we would look inexperienced. But what does that cost us?
