- Hello everyone,
Happy National Week Of Deaf People! It is very exciting time of year.
My name is Jinaya Myers and I have been working with SLC Victoria for the past 6-7 months within their Intern Program. What a fantastic opportunity it has been.
Anyway, SLC Victoria have asked me to share 5 top things about being an Auslan Interpreter. So here they are....
1. I love Auslan, it is such a beautiful and visual language.
2. I enjoy meeting new people every day; whether they be Deaf, hearing or tandem interpreters. I meet such lovely people.
3. I love the variety of my job. My role sees me travelling to a variety of locations and interpreting a variety of situations. This is very different to a 9am-5pm desk job.
4. I enjoy the challenges I am faced with at every job. Some challenges are minor and some are extraordinary. No matter what the challenge, I do enjoy them and how they assist me to improve my skills.
5. I love learning new things. For example while interpreting a University lecture, I am able to learn about the different subjects and specialist areas. It is incredibly fascinating. Luckily I do not have to sit the exams or write the assignments.
There you have it, my five top things I like about being an Auslan Interpreter.
Have a good week and I hope to see you all soon.
Bye for now.
I'm waiting to be accepted into an Auslan cert II course. I can't wait. I really want to become an interpreter! I can't wait to learn all about this beautiful language and it's history and deaf culture itself! I hope I can love the job as much as she does.
Love this vid, keep rewatching to practise receptive skills. Only been learning for 8 weeks and loving it. Had to watch vid at 25% of original speed to understand her name though! haha
never stop Learning Bro !
She is wonderful, I am currently learning Cert lll in Auslan! I hope to be as good as her one day!
Thanks for your wonderful comment! We are glad you liked it. All the best with Cert III!
Where can we get certified, national institution or something ?
Jinaya's definitely been successful; she's appearing at press conferences with some regularity these days. :-)
