This week’s conversation is about curiosity in translation and interpretation. Not just the literal, “how do you say this thing in that language?” but how do we use our curiosity to communicate our ideas effectively, to investigate what’s really being said when we’re quite literally not speaking one another’s language.
Luckily, there are people like Silvia Villacampa who have a few things to teach the rest of us…
Silvia Villacampa worked in medical interpretation and is now managing director of Liberty Language Services.
“In the moment, the curiosity must be around the culture of both parties, both speakers. Culture is language, language is culture. It’s all intertwined.” ~ Silvia Villacampa
