The concept of register in the transfer along with colloquialisms and slangs are part of this course. Typical legal and non-legal false cognates are also presented in this course.

I took all the courses SCSI offered back in 2003 in Fresno. Mr. Calvo was our instructor and he was phenomenal. I learned so much through this program. I passed the written state test for Medical Interpreter, but twice failed the oral portion. I did fine with simultaneous interpretation and interpreting documentation, but consecutive kicked my ass. It's very stringent, but if you got the talent, you can do it. I sadly fell short, although I worked 7 years as a Medical Interpreter as a freelancer, just not state certified. I still highly recommend taking these courses, as at the very least, your grammar, vocabulary, and overall interpreting skills will improve greatly.

[@philippides]

Thank you for sharing! And I bet you could pass the exam with flying colors if you took a workshop on note taking in consecutive interpretation. I'm reviewing some materials now, it is anything but intuitive, but once you learn the skills and symbols, you could handle consecutive segments of basically any length.

[@buren86]

@@philippides ...can you share which materials are helping you prepare for the consecutive interpretations portion of the state exam? Thank you.

[@buren86]

rkcraig348, do you think you could pass the exam now if you had ample time to study for it and money to retake it?

[@rkcraig348]

@@philippides I'm only now seeing these replies here. So sorry to only be responding now Samuel.Something like that would absolutely be very helpful, no question. I never did find anything like that during my studies unfortunately and sadly I no longer have the passion to pursue it further. Nevertheless I wish you well and much success Samuel.

[@rkcraig348]

@@buren86 Possibly, but it would take tremendous effort to get back into the swing of things now. I've not interpreted for quite some time now,but if I gave it my all, I'm sure I could at some point achieve it. The thing is, I just no longer feel the passion to pursue those studies. Maybe that will change in time, but currently, no. If you're going for it R. Moreno-Realtor, I wish you the absolute best.

[@ricardoparra6927]

I have never heard anyone in or from Mexico say "petatiado de encabronamiento". "Petatear" usually means to "die" or "die off". Much like to say "estiro la pata" o "se petateo" It would be sufficient to say "se encabrono" and this is what most people in Mexico would say. Otherwise I find this very helpful. Thank you.

[@Eithan1985]

You but there is some of us that have.. you can't generalize for the whole country.

[@DANYRUY]

“Petatear” means to die”. If some people (that I’ve never heard) has another meaning for that word , then he/she needs to explain or clarify what it means “to them”; because even the Spanish Language dictionary has the meaning “morirse”.

[@philippides]

I become aware of new slang every day; not only in my own country, not only in my home state, but in my own town. So don't slip into the hubris of thinking you know every single Mexican slang term even if you've lived your whole life in Mexico. I'll stick with the advice of the federally certified interpreter with decades of experience (and you should, too)

[@DANYRUY]

Samuel Adams , sorry but if something has been translated or interpreted the wrong way “it’s wrong”, a simple dictionary might help. I’ll stick with the truth and the right interpretation no matter what. Thanks

[@philippides]

@@DANYRUY that's just not how interpretation and languages work. New slang emerges everyday. You have to adapt. If a person says pateteado de encabronamiento, you had better understand what they said if you want to be a decent Court interpreter. If they say "la jamona esa es so bellaca y so puelca", you had better know how to put that into English. You had better know agresión con lesiones. But you had also better know "acometimiento y agresión". when someone says cabrón and they're from Puerto Rico, you had better know that that means something much different than it would mean from a Mexican individual. this is a certified federal court interpreter with decades of experience. If you feel like your judgment is better, that should show you that you have more to learn than you thought.

[@tonylis77]

yes Johanna I think the same , the question is how much will cost to do the full course online?

[@frankgonzalez42]

I took the state test to be a certified court interpreter and it's a fucking joke. Scored 98% on the written portion, 100% on the introduction to the court system and ethics, and on the oral skills portion I was told I didn't qualify by idiots who couldn't agree if I was using invented words or not. The last letter I sent to the state and the national offices asked if they could explain my test results or if they concede my point that it was all a dog and pony show. Its been over 7 years and still nothing.

[@erval9]

They are very subjective in their scoring. If they don’t like a word you used even though it’s not wrong they deduct points, may not be a lot but little by little it adds up and that’s how many people fail. It’s their way or the highway

How would you translate " Obey all laws" to Spanish?

[@Tlatoanimeh]

Acatar todas las leyes...

[@Kixx_KG]

You can say: obedecer todas las leyes. You can also use the verb "cumplir" with a preposition: cumplir con todas las leyes. *** Tlatoanimeh would be correct if you use the english meanings: "comply with (all laws)" "respect all laws".

[@ingridchargoy973]

[@adyh8961]

As a probation officer, his talk on probation is not accurate. It seems to be a waste of time to teach us about what probation is if it isn't going to be true. FYI probation is not just misdemeanors and the terms he used to give examples are grossly over simplified. Not sure what the point of that lesson is. Makes me wonder what else is not accurate.

[@Ardzgmz2010]

And We suppose you can do simultaneous translations like this teacher? Oh, we forgot, you are a probation officer only.

[@philippides]

He goes into summary and formal probation in later lectures. When teaching, you start with the basics and build on them. Professor Wagner is excellent.

[@ilianamarisolromero7816]

I am a healthcare interpreter, and yeah, we are continuously learning new words, their origins, and it never stops. We entered a field thinking we were full of knowledge and then if we have moments of self-awareness we see the door to more. Anyway, I just wanted to add that i know lots of people that passed the state test and went to his school

[@dillonnordhoff6932]

Excuse me sir, it's pronounced spenD with a D in present tense not spenT

[@Kixx_KG]

Actually, the usage of spend and spent depends on which verb tense you are using. "Spent" (Past tense) refers to something being used up completely in the past and no longer has any power at the moment. "Spend" (present/future tense) refers to something as ongoing usage or future usage. "I had spent all of my money vs I am going to spend all of my money."

[@philippides]

A lot of native Spanish speakers have trouble pronouncing certain voiced sounds. Note his pronunciation of z's as s's. But, as your correction reveals, you can understand him just fine = } Having learned a second language well enough to pass the federal court certification exam tells you automatically that professor Wagner's command of English is supreme.
