Tips to using interpreters
- Pause after statement to allow interpreter time to repeat statement to LEP individual
- Speak in "First Person" as you would in normal conversation
- Interpreter is expected to interpret exactly as you state it
- Speak to the LEP individual, not to the interpreter
- Speak slowly, take your time
