I see what you did there. I didn't understand it, but I see it.

We don't need to know the language to know if an interpretation is effective or not. I discuss how we can analyze our practice work to improve our interpretation skills to serve the communities better.

Similar to Sharon Neumann Solow's experience I share my story of how I could teach an interpreting program without be highly fluent in the languages used.

Many of us set goals at the beginning of each year. It is a time to rethink, reschedule, and renew us, and our plans. This episode talks about how we can do this even we work, study, and practice alone. But are we really alone? No, there are many of us.

Listen to how we can do it all and come together too.

Life balance? First, we need to find the center of gravity to put the fulcrum.

WHAT?! I'm gob smacked!

There are moments when our whole perspective is changed. We usually remember those moments vividly.

It culminated in the publishing of her latest book, Powerful Interpreting: Build Your Skills in 5 Steps. Learn of that moment and more about the new book in this episode.

There she was just a walkin' down the street! Singin' Doowah Diddy, Diddy Dum Diddy doo!

Sometimes the fashions and fads come and go, but then we see them again a few years later. Let's talk about interpreting fads and fashions, shall we? What's old today, may be new tomorrow. Theories, models, topics, ethical standards, they all come and go, change and re-change. Why? Let's discuss it.
