The ATA Chronicle - May/June 2022 - 20

Lots of Resources for
LOTS Interpreters
If you interpret a language of lesser diffusion
and cannot find practice materials specific
to your language, you'll need to think smart,
collaborate, and above all, don't reinvent
the wheel!

know what you got 'til it's gone... "

20 The ATA Chronicle | May/June 2022
H
alf a lifetime ago, I decided I wanted to be an interpreter.
It was a lofty goal, especially given the fact that I barely
spoke English and not much else. But I had taken my
first language class and that was that. Accidentally, a passion
had been born.
I began with Spanish, and for many years that was the
language that dominated, although I continued to dabble in
French. I spent a year in Honduras after I graduated from Rutgers
University. Upon my return, I purchased all the interpreting
materials I could find and studied like a fiend. Eventually, I began
freelancing. I also started to pass certification exams as a court
and health care interpreter.
Ten years into my journey, I decided to pursue French as
a third language for interpreting. That's when I realized how
much I had been taking everything for granted. In the words of
Canadian-American singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, I didn't
know what I'd " got 'til it was gone. "
