Im sure deaf people would appreciate a lot the 90% of the correct interpretation... even with the mistakes interpreters do, they get to understand more than if there was no interpreter in the room... some is better than nothing...
@@signlanguagepracticethis is a bit relieving to know. My daughter recently became HOH due to chemotherapy treatments. I’ve recently been contemplating a career in interpreting but it seems quite intimidating!
@@jolieakea1640 Must be very difficult for your daughter. Like any other profession, interpreting takes time, effort, practice and a little bit of talent. Lots of free content on TH-cam. However, the BEST thing is to find a Deaf event and show up and do your best to communicate.
There many deaf events in Houston but all of them are at night. I have not found anything happening during the day yet😔… Or perhaps I’m an not looking for them correctly? I don’t know how to…

1:03 I don't mean any disrespect, but why would this sign choice ever occur to that interpreter? WHY is there such a discrepancy in the quality of interpreters? Im in my ITP, and "Room" meaning space would never have been my sign choice, so why did it occur to this interpreter to sign it that way? Rule #1 of interpreting is making sure the messages match, and clearly "room" (space) isn't what the speaker meant. How does that happen? I know interpreters have off days and we won't be perfect, but... this seems like a mistake we shouldn't be making if we are active in the Deaf community (as we should be) and are committed to proper language facilitation.
"How did this happen?" The interpreter made a mistake. No disrepect meant...never met an interpreter who didn't blow a sign once in a while. You get a little ahead of yourself in the pacing and the brain reacts to word, generates the sign and you can't take it back. The key is to stay in the zone, correct the interpreting flow and not get flustered. Happens to us all.
@@signlanguagepractice I'm no expert at all, but I have noticed that Kindergarten kids love learning ASL , especially when it is relevant to the subject they're currently studying.
I am currently in an ASL Interpreting program... I really want to learn and help the Deaf community. Your videos are really helping. I appreciate you!
Thanks for the positivity!
Love your videos... from a fellow CODA 'terp ❤ using these for enrichment material for my ASL classes. Keep up the great work, and thank you.
Appreciate the terp props!
Great lesson ❤thanks for admitting, that even the best signers, make mistakes too
the best signers make lots of mistakes...that's how they become the best signers
@@signlanguagepractice I suppose, like super Athletes, eg: Michael Jordan, didn't become great,by being successful every play
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks!

I've never met an interpreter who got "everything" right "all the time"

My guess:
REGISTRATION FINISH (eyebrows up) - COME UP.
IF NOT - WAIT.
WHEN AVAILABLE, WILL INVITE.
I LIKE IT!
cutie 🥰
