Interpreting requires many skills.

While many people speak more than one language, simply speaking is only the beginning of interpretation. 

Interpreting involves additional skills, including the following:

• A broad knowledge of both languages and cultures in which they are spoken.
• The ability to understand what others say in either language
• The ability to speak in either language and be readily understood
• A good memory for what is said.
• The ability to find equivalent means of expression in each language even when there are no equivalent words
• Knowledge of specialized vocabulary and concepts in areas such as medicine, law and business.

For more information, such as how to apply, please look at our FAQ section.

In order to provide outstanding service to our clients, we encourage you, our interpreters, to pursue further education to continually upgrade your skills. We hope to serve as a resource to actively assist in your professional development process.
