An ASL-English interpreter joins the #IntJC Twitter forum

If you have never participated in an Interpreting Journal Club forum on Twitter (hashcode #IntJC), I suggest you give it a try. The last forum was on March 31, and it was the first one I ever participated in. They would love to have more signed language interpreters participate with the spoken language interpreters. The next #IntJC forum is tentatively scheduled for April 21st. Follow The Interpreting Journal Club site for updates and archives, such the transcript for the forum on March 31st.

Here are some of my Tweets and others’ replies:

Q6 #intjc I find watching Deaf people's vlogs in ASL on YouTube raises my awareness of their values, challenges, goals, etc. #socialmedia

@poppygodiva Yes! One of the benefits of learning the local Deaf people's signed language is "immersion" is not so far away! #intjc

"@IciarPertusa: #intjc I think experiences abroad are the best teachers. Culture and language teachers." "Abroad" in ASL is Deaf community.

@danielgreene I thought there was no difference in sign language. Your input is proving to be very enlightening for me. Thanks! #IntJC

@danielgreene Thanks Daniel for enlightening. We need to integrate SL in this Interpreting Journal Club scope. #IntJC

@lioneltokyo Thank you for hosting this! It's been a pleasure to share with and learn from other #interpreters from around the world. #intjc
