    Oh my god. I'm deaf myself and I use sign language and everything.
    But seriously the sarcasm is off the charts, I absolutely wish I could meet you guys in person. Brilliant video.

    I'm absolutely ashamed it took me that long to pick up on the sarcasm... *facepalm
    The fact that it seemed to take others a while as well makes me feel better though

    ASL instructors, make this mandatory viewing for all the pious hearing wanna be interpreters. I'm hearing and in my first year learning ASL and this is stuff we should be learning about! Nicely done and hilarious as hell.

      con670 I missed that part the first time I watched it, so it took me until the bill part to realize that everything was sarcastic haha. Then, of course, the aforementioned circumstances made much more sense!

    @emptyness2993 9 лет назад +13

    Hey I am in school to be an interpreter myself, I actually found this quite enlightening. Some say this is rude, but its only sarcasm. How many of us have used sarcasm to deal with our feelings? Let us not be hypocritical. I personally love sarcasm! :) Its easier to laugh than be angry and this way I totally understand how it must feel to be Deaf. I don't take offense, I laugh at mistakes and I will try to do better. Thanks for telling me!

    • @tarynpatro3393
      @tarynpatro3393 10 лет назад +7

      I was the same way. i am slooooooooooooooow to catch sarcasm. and just started my interp program so i don't know much. but then i was ROLLING on the floor laughing! (well not really i stayed in my chair) but i WAS cracking up!!!

  • @Olsonterp
    @Olsonterp  15 лет назад +4

    "Is this sarcasm?" No, it is an absolute truth and you should follow each and everyone one of this tips, EXACTLY as discussed. If you don't you WILL fail as an interpreter. (This comment MAY be dripping with sarcasm, just like most everything else we do!) smile!

    @rdr6yz 13 лет назад

    I am studying ASL and hope to get in to the interpreter program.
    .
    I have been floored this year at some of the jaw dropping and horrifying behaviors from speaking people who do not take the time to understand and RESPECT deaf culture. I have also met some amazing and wonderful deaf people who have the patience and self restraint of a saint.
    .
    Since common sense seems to be an oxymoron to most.. thank you for this. I laughed til tears came pouring
    .
    Be the change you wish to see in the world.

  • @signwaveri
    @signwaveri 15 лет назад

    Solids are best, especially when there is distance involved, like across a classroom, or in front of an audience. Dark colors tend to be best for most, but the key is to have a good contrast for your hands. Most people can wear dark blues like navy or a deep royal and look great. Dark pine green can be flattering on the right person. One interpreter I worked with used to wear beautiful dresses in a deep shade of purple like a dark wine, or green like night in a forest. Looked great on her.

  • @justkat515
    @justkat515 9 лет назад +2

    This is hysterical! I'm so grateful that I've never met any interpreters that do these things. Eating your sandwich while signing one-handed?! Gosh-I hope that you don't actually know someone who had to put up with that.

  • @candacebarrage
    @candacebarrage 8 лет назад +7

    Well this video makes me never want to become a interpreter, I'm in ASL 1 in college and I have been trying really hard to learn this language, in hopes to maybe become an interpreter of sorts. Maybe it's my lack of confidence in this language since I'm only a beginner and don't know much, but I might rethink that plan; the last thing I want to do is be ridiculed for trying to widen my knowledge in another language. I don't know, this post just made me really doubt myself. so thanks lol

    • @oliviaguardiola9887
      @oliviaguardiola9887 8 лет назад +5

      +Candace Barrage Do not let this video keep you from becoming an interpreter... these guys are just being themselves. I'm an interpreting major, I'll be taking Interpreting 3 here in San Antonio. They have to be sarcastic to prove a point. You learn all these thing while going through an Interpreting Training Program and yet there are still interpreters out there that 1. don't follow CPC, 2. wear what ever they want and 3. just dont care... we must have respect for our consumers and that's basically what this video boils down to for me personally. The whole "kiss fist" topic, i have to also agree with... there are some signs that deaf people prefer that hearing people dont use and we just have to respect it because it is their language and their culture. I was a offended at fist but then found myself laughing because everything they are talking about is true and funny even though they are being sarcastic. Just take their advice and don't do any of the things your not supposed to. I hope this helps you ! Keep up the hard work, it WILL pay off :)

    • @amymec
      @amymec 8 лет назад +4

      +Candace Barrage If you plan to do any of the things they "suggest" in the video, then you probably shouldn't be an interpreter. Why would their mocking things terrible interpreters do make you not want to be come a good interpreter? I don't get it.

    LOL! I love this VLOG - it spelled out almost everything I experienced in College. I had a NEWBIE interpreter in a Spanish Culture class where every other word was spanish and also in medical anthropology - so she not only had to learn how to "sign" , she had to learn how to create sign language to fit the scenario so I was there teaching her to sign - being very polite and praying really hard she "gets it" . She did get it after a month and was a pro but it was a struggle for both of us.

    @solracalayac 10 лет назад +3

    I am a first time student at UCC for ASL English interpreting, i speak 3 languages and sign ASL now. Am watching this video and i am thinking that not all hearing culture will act like how you portrait them to be, i can understand why Deaf culture ask a lot of questions but i don't think i would be rude and cut off a person whether their Deaf or hearing when interpreting for them, i just happen to be an speaking interpreter Spanish, Portuguese English, and its considered very rude to cut off someone when they are talking, i just want to say it depends on the interpreter don't make it us all out to be like your video is fill with sarcasm and i honestly can tell you i perceived this info as that some people feel anger and are annoyed.

    Hahaha the sarcasm was cracking me up. Of course they don't always have to wear black but dark sold colors help a lot and keep the distraction to a minimum. I can not lip read but I am hard of hearing myself and it is really hard to focus on the conversation if someone has a lot of facial piercings and loud make up or clothes.

  • @lavadava69

    Hah! The PhD thing is so spot on. I'm hearing and I was at a history conference and this amazingly intelligent professor was talking about WWII. He's deaf and was signing and had an interpreter. The professor mentioned "Kristallnacht" and I don't think the interpreter knew what that was, because what she said was pretty unintelligible. The professor stopped his talk and corrected her! Multiple times until she said it properly! It was kinda of awesome.

  • @greanqween
    @greanqween 10 лет назад +1

    random thought, or question...I totally understand that an interpreter wants to be sure to cause the least distraction possible, but what is the difference between having a serious conversation while wearing a colorful vibrant shirt with letters, VS interpreting information in a colored shirt....The impression in any setting with my deaf friends has been that, after the initial impression of your shirt, the eyes seem to ignore, or get used to, the shirt the person is wearing.. If the interpreter is boring or not very skilled, would wearing a black shirt really help keep their attention? If they are bored ANYTHING could become a distraction right black, red, blue, yellow, plain, checkers, letters, movement....etc? I really don't know, but I always wondered that.... let me know what you think! :)

  • @connierc1
    @connierc1 14 лет назад

    @MrBoffom Reverse the thinking. If a Hearing person is in a LOUD bar/restaurant, etc., it's difficult to understand what someone is saying, yes? Much easier if there isn't "background noise' to 'hear' clearly. As a paid interpreter, if you are light-skinned, best to wear darker colors as it's not "loud and noisy." If dark-skinned, wear light-colored clothing - it's easier to "hear" when there is a contrasting color between hands and clothing. You will learn this in our studies and associations.

  • @H3rmalyn3
    @H3rmalyn3 12 лет назад

    As a hard of hearing interpreter, I find it to be very difficult when interpreting with with bright colors on. Because I see that certain deaf/hard of hearing folks lose focus depending on the color that the interpreter is wearing. Also many deaf/hard of hearing of hearing that I've come across feel as if hearing people are trying to take over their lives and language. But thank you so much CODA brothers for the information, I shall cherish this information.

    Hahaha I just saw this in my ASL Linguistics class. I knew something was up when they mentioned liking long nails and dramatic makeup on interpreters, as a hearing person learning ASL I find that very distracting to me so I figured it couldn't be right. haha Loved this but I am a bit concerned since I do have a small tattoo on the side of my left wrist pointing away from my body. Would that be a huge problem if I were interesting in majoring as an interpreter?

    @13SuperKings just my opinion on this, because of my personal experience with my parents...With my dad oralism just didn't work, I'm talking about they even lit a candle to have him practice the letter P, it should effect the flame on the candle. On the other hand, it worked wonders for my mom (I thought she could speak very well, but of course I was used to her voice) Luckily, they both learned ASL and it was passed down to me. So I can see both sides of this, but love your comment....
