Teacher it is a great experiencia , and I really thank you for sharing with us your Outlooks about being an interpreter. I am now inquiering about it because I feel I can start preparing to be one of them. Thanks again.

There's the perfect protocol statement to either derail it or keep it coming and relay the message. We should notify our client about the foul language and ask how to proceed.

I am really interested in getting into interpreting or translating German as a career. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? I would have to get much better at my German but I am very interested in this field of work. (I already have a Bachelor's degree in Communication).

A bit curious as to why the cow's art (?) But I liked it!

Well stated. No money, no honey! ☝

Hi how can i find job about interpreter cause i speak Haitian créole, Spanish and French.

thankyou so much! that what i've been looking for the explanation. so catchy to get it.

To become an interpreter, you typically need to follow these steps: First, attain a high level of proficiency in at least two languages, including your native language and a second language you wish to interpret. Next, acquire formal training in interpretation through a degree or certification program. This could be a bachelor's or master's degree in interpretation or a related field. Gain practical experience through internships or entry-level positions, honing your skills in various interpreting settings like legal, medical, or conference interpretation. Finally, seek certification from a recognized professional organization, such as the American Translators Association (ATA) in the United States, to enhance your credibility and job prospects as an interpreter. Continuous learning and practice are essential in this profession to maintain and improve your language and interpretation skills. Thanks, Connecting Cultures Healthcare Interpreters!

Great video, thank you for the info!

Don’t get upset if someone calls you a translator, 5:57 Must people don’t even know the differenc! You know what you are . As long as they !value as a professional

Is the future of translators & interpreters in jeopardy with AI or humans are still better when dealing with mother human being! Great tutorial! Thank you . I’m new to the interpretation field. Certified vs non-certified independent Interpreter o/translator ?

I make 25$ im in oklahoma i just started as medical interpreter for vietnamese so the information in your video was very interesting !!! thank you

Thank your for sharing your story. I’m on my own journey to become and interpreter . I’m six weeks away from taking the National Certification exam. Any tips on where to focus my time and energy these next six weeks? I feel like the more I learn the more I realize how much I don’t know 😝

Top!

Thank You! This is very helpful! :)

Eventually, AI will replace interpreters and translators.

Working as an interpreter for 10 years - this video is SO spot on. I personally dislike the word "fluent" because it seems to mean something different to different people. Many Americans have a tendency to see language as a 'black and white' thing that either you can speak perfectly, or none at all. We know that the reality for most of our patients is that they do speak some English, which we should respect, because you make the great point that I make often as well that if you don't speak English or are perceived as not speaking English well people treat you like you are dumb and nobody wants to be seen as dumb. This is why when I show up to an encounter and staff tells me that I am not needed, I always double check directly with the patient, and in many situations when I do this the patient says 'No please stay! I can get by with a lot of things but I need help with the medical things'. Great video!

Great video. Really helpful. Thank you!!!

Too quiet, I can hardly hear what you're saying.

Do I need a college degree?

great talk! thanks!

Hola

Hello, I am currently in your channel and found this video. I would like to ask if you hire from diffrent countries as a part time employee. I am a Turkish-English interpreter and I know there isnt a lot like me. It wouold be a pleasure to get a reply from you. Thank you.

Hello . How are you guys? Hope you are doing well. I am a Medical professional and wanted to be part of the team . Let me know how we can get connected . looking forward to hearing form you as soon as possible .

How did you "learn" to translate bad news to patients and relatives? What strategies/techniques did you develop to recover from the emotional load of working in tragic cases? Do you have any video on that topic?

I'm getting ready to take a class to become a medical interpreter, but these videos have helped me to see what the job can be like 👍

I want to improve My fluency in English in order to Take a course for interpreting. I'm from México. I love Your videos.

Great video it helps a lots many thanks

I don't know why a big deal is made about this supposed interpreting/translating dichotomy. I don't mind if I'm called a translator. Whatever. There are SO many other things that we should be concerned about in our profession. I am a court certified interpreter, and the government code in California also certifies me for Medical and Administrative Law. The fact of the matter is in order to be an effective interpreter, one MUST start off as a translator. One MUST be both in order to stay competent, there's no other way. Just one minute example of many: any proper course in Sight Translation (a skill set that takes months to develop, and that every certified interpreter should absolutely master) involves actual TRANSLATION classwork, homework and tests. Both the law and the medical/healthcare systems are basically structures made up of WRITTEN language, texts that define, denote, explain, illustrate, educate, etc.....that inform and supplement whatever will be said in any SPOKEN language. Conversational or not, if a would-be interpreter (in any field, because competence ALWAYS matters) does not understand how to handle the two written languages that he/she/they purport to know, then said individual has no business being an interpreter.

beautifully explained ❤️

I applied to be a Translator, and now I am being worked as an Interpreter - suffice to say, I am struggling.

That was a well put together video. Thanks.

Nice this is my dream to become an interpreter!!!

I'm struggling to pick a career path and this mirrored my own experience so much, so thank you! I just graduated and am teaching English in France, and am planning on teaching in Turkey next year. I'm not enjoying education as much as I thought, and am looking into becoming a medical interpreter. I'm native in English and speak French, Croatian, and Turkish all kind of well... anyone have advice on choosing a language to specialize in?

Thank you!!!

I am so happy I found your channel!!! Thank you for sharing this important information! Please, keep those videos coming!!! ❤

What an awesome video!!! Thank you!!!

Very good

What are you supposed to do when interpreting remotely for a patient that is cursing at the doctor? Thank you!

where I worked they always ask us to use the first person too.Never 3rd person.Sometimes that is easy, however some others not.

I started interpreting in first person thank God😅

Telling the story is somewhat irrelevant, especially as it has a negative take.
