Do you know what it means to truly understand something? You may know the words but do you understand the nuance? Does the person you're translating for?

Join federally certified interpreter Janis Palma, PhD, MLS, USCCI, NCJIT as she covers practical applications of language theory to the practice of interpreting and get a clearer sense of how the Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals process the meaning of an interpreter’s rendition.
