The Ring of Fire.
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.
