Two types of live interpreting.

Leave a reply

Hello,

And Yes, I can provide two ways of interpreting.

1. Consecutively

This where there’s a dialogue for most the time.

Person speaking in English or Spanish speaker talks in short phrases and gives time for the interpretation. It’s like tennis match back forth and done well it has a good flow.

2. Simultaneously

This where I’m interpreting into at the same time as the speaker. This option you need equipment/ that gets my audio to the right audience.  This is like rollercoaster ones it starts there is no going back until the end. The interpreter should have knowledge about scene to perform accurately.

Cost.

1. Consecutively $200hr

2. Simultaneously $1,200hr

I hope I was able to explain clearly. Please if you need more info please feel free to contact me. I have my own professional website.

Best,

Pedro Diaz

Portuguese Lesson

Portuguese lesson

Curtido means to like something

Brazilian portuguese: eu curti sua foto no instsagram

Englih: I liked your photo on instagram

Coitado means to feel sorry for someone

Brazilian Portuguese: Coitado do Brasil quando perdeu 7x 0 contra Alemania

English : I feel sorry for Brazil when the lost 7 x0 against Germany

The words are similar for foreigner when hear them but mean completly different things.

Living in a country where they use a different language from mine, it has forced me to learn and to use a new langauge. Not only I’m learning a new language but I have found a new perspective and appreciation to the where I’m from.

A clear and short introduction with power and tone seting.
Listening is the most acute skills set an interpreter posses.
If the messegae and idea is not clear a form of clarification occurs until the messeage an idea are clear a precise.

1. Listen. SHUT UP AND LISTEN!

2. Set the tone, speak clearly and with confidence.

3. Clarify as many times until you are 100% accurate.

4. Check your mute button!

Interpreters are great at distinguishing accents – we deal with English accents from all over the world.

The difference of Spanish and Portuguese * Brazilian

The majority as spanish speakers will say the portuguese is similar to spanish and that you could get by just by knowing spanish. imhere to tell you that they are complete different languaages.

A great example is the word napkim. This an items that you are going to ask for when you are dining out.

English : Napkim
Spanish: Servilleta
Portuguese: Guardanapo

There are many example especially when you are dining out. Check out the examples below.

English: Fork, Spoon, Knife, A Bottled Water, BBQ
Spanish: Tenedor, Cuchara, Cuchillo, Una botella de agua, Carne Asada
Portuguese: Garfo, c Colher,Faca, Uma garrafa de agua, Churrasco

If you are getting an idea they are complete different languages you wont be able to communicate in restaurant with spanish. But surprisingly enough there are many Portuguese speakers that speak english and not spanish.

Now with globalization laguages are mixing when you speak and write.
Lets take at look at some commanalities betwen spanish and portuguese.

English: Beer, Beach, Party, Music
Spanish: Cerveza, Playa, Fiesta, Musica
Portuguese: Cerveja, Praia, Festa, Musica

The majority of the people you interact with in Brazil will be in Portuguese they will do the effort to slow down and try to understand you even if you only know Spanish or English.

This post is to help language learner appreciate the differences in languages and make extra effort to learn a new language and not assume just because they are similar.
