How Interpreters Work | Jacolyn Harmer, Gabriel Guillen & Laura Burian | TEDxStevensonSchool

GENIUS VIDEO! I just felt soooo inspired with the idea of becoming an interpreter and translator, officially.

[@samuelguerrero4114]

I am impressed with the proficiency of all the interpreters. This profession is one of the most difficult to deal with ,regarding developing high-cognitive skills. I assume that they get through intensive training for more than three years until they become that accurate in processing all that amount of information.

Uhhh Simultaneous interpreting! It a battle for me. I could retain so much information it just crazy (people get can’t believe it), have 5 people and interpret each message, but Simultaneous interpreting yeah working on that. 😭😭

[@estheraguirre3807]

I had 4 years of formal training BA in Linguistics with emphasis in Tranlation and Interpretation but trust me, plus lots of workshops, webinars, etc., it is not enough, you will come across all sort of different scenarios, specially if you are interpreting for the community, from Inland Revenue (Tax terminology) to Medical, to immigration, etc etc. You only get your brain trained to acquire more and more knowledge day by day.

Wonderful! My native Chinese brain was having such a hard time to focus when the Chinese interpreter who probably a Chinese native speaker uses her second language to interprets the speaker on the stage who uses her second language Chinese into English. I cannot help but think that the two interpreters' brain must have been all amused by this amazing moment as well!

[@FredLiu]

Very well made!! Highly recommended this. I am an interpreter myself. This is exactly what I went through.

[@saprijean]

this video is so cool and very interesting. ima be honest, ive been interpreting for a little over a yr now and I love it. its so interesting it makes you a very smart and Intellectual person and you learn so much. I am certified to interpret for 911, finance, insurance, medical, utilities companies, and more. only been doing it for a year and its great. im very motivated to get more certs and make this a great carreer. its amazing to be able to help people this way and be a bridge for 2 people to communicate. anyway lol great video

I'm really loving the video. ❤

[@felipesantos2]

I loved the presentation! I am an interpreter as well!

[@martperu1109]

the speaker uses very simple expressions, actually spanish speakers tend to speak first before putting their ideas into order. this guy is speaking spanish with a american way of speaking.

[@EriniusT]

He's from Spain, he's speaking in a slow-paced way and in chunks to make it easier for the interpreters I think

[@kspb91.9]

Nicely done!

Hi, from Kazakhstan. The Salinas... John Steinbek...

[@alexandra.v]

I thought the same

[@JFM284]

The British woman said she was born and raised in the UK, but as soon as she could she moved to Europe (continental Europe I assume she meant). Do British people really don't see themselves as Europeans?

[@puppchenschnuppchen4984]

I guess.

[@estheryanez7131]

I thought the exact same thing!

[@kaylasriha9310]

Europe as in mainland Europe, I guess (?)

[@estheryanez7131]

@@kaylasriha9310 I guess that's what she meant, but geographically Britain is still Europe. If Brits don't consider themselves Europeans, that's another story...

[@Ruthavecflute]

Some do, some don't. I'm British and I think of myself as European, but my mother (also British by birth and heratage) doesn't. I think there's a bit of a divide based on age and maybe also socio-economic and educational background.

[@angellin4997]

Interpreter!

[@howtowindows11]

😮

[@snterp]

Next time he's got to stop breathing directly into his mic.

[@LadyMorena17]

Good clip but the only thing is the interpreter from Chinese to English… the interpreter swallows too loud and that is annoying and distracting.
