Here´s a practical way to practice simultaneous interpreting related to weapons. Good speed, not too technical, and full of medical terminology also. Do you know how to say "yaw"?!

Dr. Babak Sarani, director of trauma and acute care surgery at George Washington University Hospital, explains what bullets do to the human body.

The whistling language of Oaxaca. Very interesting, and it includes a map of the huge variety of languages in the area. Enjoy!

Just returned from interpreting with my colleague and friend, Clarissa Laguardia (Laguardia Translations) in Sacramento on the important topic of providing culturally sensitive services to victims of domestic abuse. We may all be aware of this pervasive problem in our own culture, but we know it happens in all cultures, sadly. Not all conferences we interpret for make us think and evaluate our beliefs about our own culture, and others. Thanks, Clarissa Laguardia, Laguardia Translations for this great opportunity to work together!

He aquí un entretenido e informativo artículo sobre aquello que muchos temen tener que interpretar en el tribunal: las frases soeces, las groserías (no grocerías, o sea, groceries!) y los albures. Sabiendo que mi público lector es de amplio criterio, se los comparto:

Decir groserías, injurias, blasfemias, peladeces, maldiciones, juramentos, pestes, vulgaridades, palabrotas, mejora la salud.
