Karen The Karen language lacks terminology for many modern concepts and technologies. For instance, there are no names for car parts as they do not drive motorized vehicles in the mountains where they come from. So, they will often use gestures and describe a car part as “thing” with a classifier such as “long,” “flat,” “round,” etc. Kekchi/Q’eqchi The Kekchi/Q’eqchi’ people are concrete thinkers preferring to answer straight-forward and detail-oriented questions rather than…

Compared to face-to-face interpreting, it has some serious drawbacks including clarity of communication and limitations of existing technology. Body Language & Facial Expressions In all languages, body language and facial expressions make up a significant portion of communication. However, for some languages, it…

Underqualified interpreters underqualified interpreters Why can’t bilinguals interpret?  The differences between a bilingual and an interpreter… and the hidden costs of using underqualified interpreters. Language learning is a lifetime long process. It takes work and commitment to developing specialized vocabulary and understanding of linguistic nuances in two or more distinct languages.

Speaking a second language does not make you an interpreter the same way as taking an anatomy class does not make you a medical doctor….

Interpretation is carried out in real-time (simultaneously) or very close to it (consecutively).

About us

LEGAL INTERPRETERS LLC is an interpreting agency founded by an actual interpreter with a broad and extensive interpreting experience. Agata Baczyk has been working as an independent interpreter for several years and decided to start her own interpreting agency in order to address the industry's need for professional and experienced interpreters. Most interpreting agencies are not able to screen or assess their interpreters effectively because they don't have the needed tools and knowledge of what that job entails. As a company led by a professional interpreter we are able to ensure that the linguists we contract with are knowledgeable and experienced.
