Squeeze Point-A VERY IMPORTANT POINT!

I had a very inspiring moment while interpreting the other day. Of course I don't want to include exact situations or names but to give a broad idea I was voicing for someone and signing also. I had interpreted a question that I thought I had delivered the message correctly but it turns out it wasn't clear...after having the discussion with the person afterwards and really understanding the situation I understood that I needed to work on understanding the message and then interpreting it with a good understanding of the meaning behind it. This is so important in ASL...as I watch tapes and try to watch them without voice I really try to find if I can understand the interpretation as a WHOLE message from the speaker... I have been working on this and I find that I am really starting to get a better grasp on understanding interpreting and not transliteration...really starting to apply the concepts that I have been learning not only through my interpreting jobs, but also as I am studying for my NIC Written test....WHICH IS ON THURSDAY!!! AHHHHH!
