Korekara interpreters pull up 😤. All jokes aside, I really enjoyed this episode. There was a quote I heard from a video describing interpreters and translators accurately. “Invisible but invincible”

Can someone kindly let her know that I ordered a copy of her book from her website a while ago but the book hasn’t been delivered… I am still waiting. 😅

The British accents were... salvageable I suppose 😀 In all seriousness I loved the ep as always and also appreciated her comments on not really feeling at home in either country.

Lol "you don't know japanese" I guess it really takes a whole level past native-like fluency to interpret, huh? I went to collge to become a sign language interpretor (im fluent, but abandoned that goal), and a lot of the aspects are the same, but its also completely different in many ways to translate another language in real time, it seems. American sign language is almost like a code of English, so most of it translates over so smoothely, I had never considered how much the quality of speech might really be lost in translation from japanese to English even from someone so fluent as to be raised bilingual. The image of a translation process i had in my head has disolved quite a bit now. I foind this really enlightening, especially as my language learning journey is moving away from using english translations as direct guides to japanese and shifting into a monolingual process. Thanks for the show, guys, and thanks for all the insights, Marie!

I love her. She is so sweet and amazing at her job!^_^❤
