Certified Interpreters & Their Connection To The First Thanksgiving

Certified interpreters are the bilingual adults who have dedicated their time and efforts towards ensuring that everyone should be able to communicate with each other- regardless of the language they understand. Their job is more involved than just being bilingual... although it certainly helps. Certified interpreters are the people who have attended interpreter school and then gone on to get official certification through their states' licensing board. It takes a lot of time and effort to become a certified interpreter but for a truly great interpreter- their education and training is never complete. Because they understand that there is more to the profession than being bilingual, and they recognize that language is as much about vocabulary as it is situational. Take yourself, for example. You speak differently to your friends than you do to at your job. Especially if you have a specialized career, like a surgeon for example, who spent years studying and perfecting their field... They would explain a procedure to a coworker using a far more complex vocabulary than they would explain it to their patient, who requires the same explanation just with a more common terminology. Our interpreter training programs are taught by expert instructors ✅who have real-world interpreting experience- as medical interpreters, legal interpreters, immigration interpreters, and any other online interpreter training course we provide. They have created their individual interpreting training courses to be unique and engaging✅ for their students, who will always receive LIVE instruction✅ as all of our online courses use video conferencing webinar formatting✅. As we continue to educate the next generation of language interpreters, and language translators our thoughts travel back in time. How was the first Thanksgiving possible? How were the Native Americans able to communicate with the colonialist settlers?
