Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry deals with the fact that many countries do not have education for sign language interpreters. Here we talk to sign language interpreters, teachers, and researchers, to look at the real issues and share ideas for improvement from many countries. Signed language interpreters usually work alone or in small teams. This can create a feeling of uncertainty about our work, our skills and our roles. Here is the place to connect and find certainty.

We all need to roll our eyes at times. WE may get annoyed at how things are not the same as they were. But sign language interpreters have been adapting, changing, and respecting others for a long time. Civility is still needed, as always.

Looks aren't everything, but they help us deduce who people are, what they may think, and how they communicate. As sign language interpreters we often have to be "judgmental" of who people are to help us understand what they mean. Is that good? How do we do that?

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.

To be or not to be true to yourself! That is the topic today.

How do we do what we do and be our authentic selves? Are we hiding behind the interpretation or suppressing who we are? Are we changing ourselves for the better?

We need to self-reflect and interpret who we are on a regular basis to assess how we are doing personally, and professionally. This not only ensures we improve our skills in the profession, but also reminds us of who we are and to give ourselves permission to let go of the situations we find ourselves in when interpreting.

Interpreter's focus too much on getting it "right".

Alex Laferriere and I discuss geeky-gamer stuff, a tiny bit, but we connect that passion with our passion for signed languages, the Deaf and interpreting communities.

Alex's perspective as a CODA and non-interpreter, gives us a new lens to self-reflect on our perceptions of our own sign language interpreting profession.

Her answers discuss Name Signs, having a good place to safely discuss our challenges and learn from each other, and how language deprivation and the lack of incidental learning affects how we produce our interpretation and our decision-making process.

1. What is one of the biggest challenges you have when it comes to working as a sign language interpreter?

2. What was one of the most memorable moments from the podcast for you?

3. What one perspective of yours about sign language interpreting has changed since your first started interpreting?

Humor is a fun and challenging thing to interpret. Shall we discuss it more? Yes! In this combination episode of Tips and Comedy, we'll explore the fun topic of humor, specifically how to interpret it. Or at least, how we need to make it work just as well as any other message we interpret.

Enjoy this April Fool's Day fun.

"Interpreter sense" is real! It tingles in the presence of spoken and signed nonsense!

OK, maybe such a tingling is exactly true. You tell me. But in this episode, I'll tell you how I compare a designated sign language interpreter, a default interpreter, and a comfortable interpreter (when you have a client you see often). Should they be separated? Are the codes of conduct different for each? How do we tell?

Think deeply about this topic, it may just be you!

In this part 3 of my series with Robyn K Dean, we look at how to improve our professional development on our own. That means, reflect on our practice, speak out about what we do and analyze it. But why is that so hard to do when we have so many workshops?

Robyn breaks it down for us. We discuss some interesting ideas of the dynamics involved with the workshop mentality that many sign language interpreters have.

All Aboard! Haaahaaha! ...the crazy train of interpreting travel.

How is traveling like interpreting?
How is solo travel different than travelling in a tour group?

In this episode, I compare how working solo as an interpreter has similarities to travelling solo. I also compare travelling in a tour group with interpreting in a team. There are positives and negatives to both working environments. Let's talk about how we can navigate the conditions in both.

We've all been there, done that. We attend a great training, workshop or conference and then a few days later we only remember a few things. A few weeks later, and most of it is gone. How do we make better use of our time and trainings?

This InterpreTips episode focuses on the Feynman technique which can lead to better comprehension of what we attended and better retention (help us to remember these new concepts longer).

aRRGHH! My contact fell out!

Ever feel like you cannot really see what's happening? Sometimes there's so much going on that we aren't sure what to do next. We're not sure what it all means.

Today I share four concepts that I remind myself of when situations get a bit complicated. It also helps me to remember these four perspectives when I become "used to", complacent, or big-headed about my work. When I think it's easy or it's no big deal. I must remember these four topics.

Let me know your perspectives (with an email or voicemail) that help you make your work fresh and pointed in the right direction.

Let's take a few moments to reflect on our journey as an interpreter. Recall what it was like to start, to go to your first gig. Then compare that to Vera's stories.

Vera tells us more details of the development of sign language interpreting in Serbia. The beginning is not that long ago. She tells us of the many relationships and connections that make it all possible.

We are all guilty of thinking or saying something like that above. In today's InterpreTips episode I give a clear look at why we should respect each of our colleagues who are in this journey with us.

It is true we must evaluate, analyze, and improve our work together, but we must use respect and kindness to achieve lasting success.

Dr Jonathan Downie and I finish our conversation. He leaves us with some ideas to think about as we continue our journey in interpreting.

  • How do we view interpreting, what is it?
  • Train interpreters for real life.
  • Learn the skill of reading the room.

Today we learn some details of Brett's life experience inside and outside of interpreting. What are "grits"? She'll tell you. How can we be better interpreter colleagues? She'll tell you. It was a fun conversation with Brett. We should all have conversations with each other more often.

Mentioned in the episode. Check it out! Let them know Tim Curry sent you.

I'll see you next week for the last episode of 2022!!!

Power, seen and unseen, we must use it wisely.

Today, Brett speaks to the fact that much of what we do as interpreters transfers to all situations, even to different countries. Our interpreting process takes into account cultures, norms and of course language use. This applies even across borders.
We also learn of horizontal violence, online and verbal attacks within our profession. Her research can help us start improving our communication with colleagues to enrich each other rather than to tear us down.

Next week we conclude the interview with Brett Best with a look into her life in the UK and more.

Keep on interpreting.

English is English, right? Which English?

Since language and culture are so intertwined, English can bring different meanings from different countries.

I speak with interpreter Brett Best who moved from the US to the UK. Her experiences give us insight into our profession by comparing the two journeys she took to be a working interpreter in each of these English-speaking countries.

In the next episodes she will give us an in-depth look at these journeys and the situation as it is now. As the chat continues, we'll get a peek at her research and how we can benefit in the field.

"Mr. DeMille! I'm ready for my closeup!"

Attention seeker, attention getter, are we? Do we seek attention?

In this episode I discuss the finer points of why some interpreters say yes to doing interviews for TV or radio to talk about the Deaf community. Why do some feel it is OK to speak for others? When is it acceptable to answer questions about the clients we serve? Who decides?

So, pay attention to the attention seekers. Listen... closely.

  • Who am I?
  • Who do you think you are?
  • Who indeed.

Clients call us by many different names and say illogical statements and questions. Why do people still misunderstand our profession? I'm sure it has to do with awareness and amount of experience they have using an interpreter. However, I'll let the researchers found that answer.
Today, let's just have some fun with the "name-calling" and laugh at ourselves while chatting about the odd sayings of "those non-interpreters" out there in the wilderness.

Drama! Drama! Drama! Be calm and interpret.

We are a young profession...still. Society knows about us, but individuals tend to misunderstand what we do and who we are. This societal perspective can make us become defensive. We have a list of reasons, arguments and explanations ready to counter any barriers that we encounter in our work.

This attitude can affect our ethical, moral, and practical decisions. In this episode, I detail this look at how we can make our decisions and create less stress for us and for the clients.

And his exciting story of interpreting for royalty is an example for us all... not to mention just incredibly COOL!

Zane has regaled us with many lovely stories teaching us to laugh, cry and shake our heads. His journey speaks to many of us in different ways. This episode teaches us the gift of humor, humility, and respect for all.

Hanna and I chat about teams, work - life balance, and more. Not all of us are privileged to have a team when interpreting. Some countries either don't use teams or don't have enough interpreters to make teams.

We get the same old questions, the same old comments. We deal with the same problems every month.

  • We don't have the PowerPoints yet, sorry.
  • Sign language is universal, right?!
  • Please don't stand there.
  • Why two interpreters?

How do you deal with it? Do you have the answers memorized? Do you sigh, roll your eyes, or just smile?

Part 4, the last in our interview series with Sharon Neumann Solow, an American pioneer interpreter from the U.S.A. Sharon is a teacher, consultant, researcher, actor and genuine gift to all.

This episode touches the heart a bit deeper and a sensitive court case topic is mentioned. Be warned that tears may drop. Also, Virginia Hughes passed away only a few days after this entire interview was made.

Sharon leaves us with coping strategies she uses to stay healthy, mentally and physically when tasked with difficult interpreting situations. Her final thoughts are to pass to us the words of wisdom and observations of the early mentors in her life.

So, the final words in this interview are:

  • healthy coping strategies,
  • legacy advice and comfort,
  • and more.

Have a great rest of the summer! See you next week!!

Acting is not everyone's cup of tea. I would say interpreters must at least sip a little from that cup or lose some of our fluency in interpreting.

Bruce and Siegrid gave me some thoughts about how to put into words my view of interpreting. Using some acting skills helps us create a better interpretation and allows us to be a part of the context in a more comfortable way.

Bruce and Siegrid gave me some thoughts about how to put into words my view of interpreting. Using some acting skills helps us create a better interpretation and allows us to be a part of the context in a more comfortable way.

I made a decision to discuss decisions.

This is a short episode for those of you who like quick thoughts on one subject. The one continuous discussion in the sign language profession is focused on how we make decisions, practical, professional, ethical and moral.

  • Why do we always have questions about our decisions? 
  • What makes it so hard for us to accept our decisions?
  • Why do we doubt ourselves so much??

This is a wonderful discussion in the second half of my interview with Scottish, CODA interpreter, Bruce Cameron. He explains more about the system of training for sign language interpreters in Scotland and we dig deeper into his approaches to decision-making, team interpreting and more. His perspective of interpreting comes from growing up in the natural language and cultural environment of Deaf parents.

Press play for incite and humor surrounding the life of this Scottish interpreter.

When did you decide to be an interpreter? How did you become an interpreter? Listen to one interpreter's path to the profession and how his life journey influences his work. His experiences can be lessons for us all.

In this episode of the Interpreter's Workshop, we visit with a BSL/English interpreter from Scotland. Bruce Cameron is a CODA who became an interpreter later in life through a unique government funded program. We hear about his life as a child of Deaf parents, his work from a DJ to interpreter, and such details as how he is paid for interpreting.

In Part 2, we go deeper into his approach to interpreting decisions and the system of the profession in the UK.

Why do we take ourselves so seriously? Chill. Stay cool. Be calm and interpret.

In this episode of the Interpreter's Workshop, I tell two stories from the beginning of my two careers. I relate them to interpreting, the profession and selfcare.

Story 1: Ego...much?
Story 2: Don't look at me...it was him!

Also, thoughts on the phrase that interpreters use often, "I'm just the interpreter."
