This unique (sometimes funny, sometimes serious) podcast focuses on supporting signed language interpreters in the European countries by creating a place with advice, tips, ideas, feelings and people to come together. 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.

    IW 100: Your Turn: Q&A-USA The Sign Language Interpreting Cadence

    IW 100: Your Turn: Q&A-USA The Sign Language Interpreting Cadence

    The Rhythm of an Interpreter's Life

    Let's dance! OK, maybe not.

    Today we hear from a seasoned interpreter from the USA, Anne. She answers the same questions I put to the others in the last few episodes. 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.

    It is great to hear from you. Enjoy, relax, learn.

    IW 97: InterpreTips-Comedy: Serious Professionals! - Seriously?

    April Fools!!!  OK, not really. No, really. Maybe.

    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.

    IW 96: InterpreTips: Your Friendly Neighborhood Default Interpreter

    IW 96: InterpreTips: Your Friendly Neighborhood Default Interpreter

    "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!

    IW 95: InterpreTips: Your Friendly Neighborhood Designated Interpreter

    IW 95: InterpreTips: Your Friendly Neighborhood Designated Interpreter

    I don't make webs, but I do have a special "interpreter sense" that warns me of what people really mean!

    This InterpreTip discusses what it means to be a designated interpreter. We can learn a lot about our decision-making, empowerment, ethics, communication management, and more from the responsible designated interpreter and the deaf professional they support.

    Next week we will compare the responsibilities of a designated interpreter with that of the community interpreter who works in a variety of places and situations every week.
