Thank you it is what I was looking for learning to be an interpreter is not easy!!😂

[@KellyGrzechHenriquez]

You're very welcome! That's very true, learning to be an interpreter requires a lot of training, a lot of practice, and a lot of patience. But if you set your mind to it, you can do it!

Is this realistically the pace you often would have? I’m trying to consider if I could mentally handle this career option… if it’s this pace, I think so! But faster… I don’t think I could do it

How I normally write scripts is based on my real experiences as an in-person interpreter (not including *anything* that would be considered confidential!) and the speed with which interactions typically occur. Occasionally I may slow things down a little, but generally speaking, the speed of these videos is pretty representative of the speed I encounter in the field. Now, that being said, if you are ever in a situation in which someone is speaking too quickly, you can always interject using third-person protocol and ask the speakers to speak more slowly, or in shorter phrases. You'd then interpret this into the other language for transparency.
