Friday fun: Eye test 👀for interpreters & translators: Take a look at the picture bellow 👇 to check what you see and then come back here for explanation: If you see fingers: you need to translate If you see coffee: you need one If you see sun: you have to get out of your office If you see all of three: you are good to go - just start interpreting 🎙️😀 So, do you speak fluently coffee or sun? As interpreters we don’t listen only with our ears - we listen also with our eyes as well. To be able to interpret correctly the silence, the mood, the meaning of the message - spoken and unspoken. Sometimes meanings are not told but shown. So, we need good hearing and good eyesight. #interpreter #simultaneousinterpretation #hotsauceinterpreters #translator #terps #germanlanguage
