A good introduction to interpreting and some of the issues that arise.

This speaker is addressing a group of polyglots (speakers of several languages) who are not interpreters. She raises some excellent questions and brings some very smart answers. I might not agree totally with all of her remarks but she clearly has good training and experience. The advice on jokes is something I heard for the first time at Ecole Supérieure d'Interprètes et de Traducteurs, Paris, around 1984! Truly, there's a lot of good advice in this video relating to common situations.
