I’m a French & English translator and interpreter in Omaha NE who uses & recommends the Training guides for Medical and Legal interpreters. They contain very useful information, tips, practice exercises, and vocab. I find them helpful and pertinent, and well worth the cost. Thank you for such a practical resource.

I was wondering if you offer or know of any guides for American Sign Language interpreters?
“Our company uses these glossaries to help linguists broaden their vocabulary during interpretation training. It is nice to have glossaries for specific fields available because it is very difficult to find linguistic resources such as these.”
