Loved seeing the variations of how each delivered the responses. I also, did the translations different ways.
These videos are a wonderful tool to use. This helps the interpreter to be able to take a peek at different ways to incorporate signing into their work.
This is a great video to review and understand how idioms are signed
I loved it and will watch again! The interpreters offer more than one interpretation for each idiom - awesome!
Great review and learning of idioms.
This video is top notch! I recommend watching it especially those interpreting in the school system! Nancy
