MARITZA:Welcome to the Ring of Fire, a weekly terminology practice session for interpreters of all levels. Ring of Fire can be used for all languages, including ASL. Thanks for joining me. I'm your host, Maritza. I'll be reading terms from three categories, medical, legal, and general. To practice, listen to the terms and interpret. If you don't know a term, add it to your glossary. Nobody knows all the words, so take your time. Feel free to press pause after each term. I leave 10 seconds between terms. Before your next interpreting session, read the new terms you added to your glossary. As you read, your brain will memorize the terms. There's no need in memorizing long lists of words. It's time consuming boring, and definitely not fun. When the term comes up when you're interpreting, your brain will recall it. You'll find the list of the words in the episode description. Download or bookmark the practice for future use. Let's get started. Medical Category. Fine Needle Aspiration. Immediate Release Medication. Lean Protein. Neoplasm. Pilonidal Cyst. Pinched Nerve. Platelets. Orthostatic Hypotension. Overactive. Palliative. Legal Category. Commonwealth. Complaint. Waiver. Bail Bondsman. Circumstantial Evidence. Charges. Contested Hearing. Defendant. Plaintiff. Docket. General Category. Coping Skills. Work Clearance. Armrest. Core. Bassinet. Attendance. Guidance Counselor. Treadmill. Foster Home. Foster Parent. How did you do? Too difficult? Too easy? How many terms did you add to your glossary? I hope you found value in this session. Now, a bonus. The bonus for today are short phrases in all the categories listed. How many wet and dirty diapers did the baby have this week? There is a hold on the account. You are to refrain from excessive alcohol use and you are not allowed to leave the state without permission from the court. If you are cleared by the jail, you can go home today. I hereby sign this consent form. Thanks for joining me. Tune in next week for the next Ring of Fire.
