    The difference between a Translator and an Interpreter are very different. First let’s start off by knowing what each of these mean. An interpreter interprets spoken words verbally from one language to another. A translator works more with converting written words in another language to the wanted language. They each face their own challenges. Interpreters have to interpret on the spot (Live) which makes you think more critically in a short amount of time. With Translators everything is thru text so it can be taken more literal or the text may be read and misunderstood when it comes to humor. It is important to not confuse an Interpreter with a Translator because it can cause a lot of damage in someone’s else’s life it can cause confusion a translator simply cannot do what an interpreter can for example fast on the spot thinking and converting spoken words into one language and saying it in another is critical thinking. A translator knows how to edit the text in another language and translate it into another, make it more understandable to one that wouldn’t understand this takes time.

    Hello, My name is Emily Arias-Perez. I am 30 years old born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts but my parents are from the Dominican Republic. I have 1 child (girl). I speak two different languages English/Spanish. Although I was born in the U.S. I went go to school in The Dominican Republic (Kindergarten) meaning my first language was Spanish. Growing up I would always interpret for my mom and family since they are all non English speaking. Id assist them at appointments, filling out paper work, relaying messages over the phone etc. Being an interpreter fits my personality in general, I love helping others who have a difficult time understanding the English/Spanish language. I enjoy filling out paper work or just being the person to get rid of any communication barriers. Becoming a Medical Interpreter will give me the knowledge I need to successfully assist people in a Medical setting. Not only am I learning more but I would also be doing something that I like, something I enjoy. I am very nervous about this class after looking at the book but over all really excited for this new chapter in my life. I hope you all enjoy this class, overall we are very talented people we are multi-language speakers!
