A professional introduction is when an interpreter explains to the client and non-English speaker their respective roles during an interpreting session. Giving interpreters the chance to professionally introduce themselves helps set the tone and saves time. #LSA #LanguageServicesAssociates #WorkingWithInterpreters

Note-taking adds to the [already heavy] cognitive load for interpreters. It's essential for every interpreter to understand exactly what needs to be documented in their notes to prevent mental exhaustion and burnout. #LSA #LanguageServicesAssociates #TopInterpreterTip

Never assume the meaning of a word. If you're unsure about a term, intervene and ask for clarification. It is always better to get it right the first time, so you don’t to have to fix it later. #LSA #InterpreterTips #LanguageSkills
