At
Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

(Workshop presented In ASL – No voice interpretation provided)
DESCRIPTION:
Ever wonder how to clearly interpret how a person can “take a nose dive” or what it means to “come out smelling like a rose”? Then this workshop is for you. The focus will be on translating English Idioms into ASL. Oftentimes interpreters hear a sentence, understand the meaning, but struggle with the interpretation. Participants will have opportunities to practice their own translations during the workshop.
