So true. It's not about just "looking or sounding good" to us or other native speakers, but to truly understanding the idiomatic correctness through research for the respect of the profession. Kudos for the excellence.

Becoming a good interpreter requires a combination of linguistic skills, cultural understanding, and effective communication abilities. Start by mastering your target and source languages, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and idiomatic expressions. Cultivate a deep understanding of the cultures associated with these languages to accurately convey nuances and context. Practice active listening and concentration to capture every detail while interpreting. Develop strong note-taking techniques and hone your memory skills. Continuous practice and exposure to diverse topics will enhance your versatility as an interpreter. Lastly, seek formal training or certification to solidify your skills and credibility in the field, and strive for ongoing professional development to stay current and improve your interpreting abilities. Thanks, Southern California School of Interpretation!

Thank you for highlighting such crucial phrases and expressions to make an interpretation more accurate. Also, please let us know when your book is coming out or if it's already out, because the video I am watching now is a yr old.

English is my first language, however, I have been married to a Mexican for 25 years, and am very familiar with Mexican Spanish, slang, culture, and accent. Are any of your students English native speakers?

[@Irene-ug6jv]

Many are native English speakers.
