Today, on The Native Experience, we are joined by Angelo Berbotto, National President of the Australian Institute of Translators and Interpreters (AUSIT).
We talk about the importance of context in translation, the challenges of interpreting technical topics, and the value of NAATI certification for translators in Australia.
We also explore the challenges of understanding context when using different languages and why using an interpreter might actually be the better choice, rather than trying to do it yourself.
Additionally, we dive into language learning tips to improve your vocabulary and move from intermediate to advanced levels. Angelo has some fantastic tips and advice throughout this episode! You don’t want to miss it!
