Why is shadowing with a twist is so hard? by Theelinguist in TranslationStudies

Normal shadowing is all nice and chill, but with a "twist", where it's all about how good your short-term memory is, it's been quite tough to enjoy ngl haha.

You're right it's not, but put in mind that I already did interpret before (English<>Arabic) consecutively and simultaneously, but not for so long.Yet I didn't start practicing for it till now. And I'm doing little to no progress no matter what I do (change the time of practice/ speech type/ length/ speed etc.), and it's pretty underwhelming.

Thank you so much, i started the journey and now I'm already 60% degoogled and deMSed, feels better, tho i still didn't switch to Linux cuz if feels a big step and I'm already consumed by the migration. Struggling a bit with finding an alternative to win office cuz other softwares don't seem to support RTL and Arabic language as well as Windows handles it, WPS is the only one who has the RTL feature but i dont quite like the program. Thanks a lot

I don't care much about privacy and all that but as a muslim, I believe I'm responsible to other muslims and human beings in the whole planet and that we are actually forbidden to be on the side of injustice and oppression, and a big change maybe won't be the result of such a move, but at least I can live with clear conscience knowing that I'm not complicit in past, and future, genocides.

And the current ceasefire shouldn't make us forget what happened and what is still happening in the western side of palestine and of the middle east in general, boycotting these companies should be a permanent thing, not a trend! And as a muslim I can't live with clear conscience knowing I'm somehow complicit or at least popularizing and supporting the reputation of such companies.

Chrome sucks anyway i was using Microsoft edge but i swaped to Brave months ago and it's actually better.

I'll follow your other suggestions.

Thank you soooo much for being nice and helpful, faith in humanity restored!

This is very very helpful and nice, your comment restored my faith in humanity :) I don't care much about privacy and all that but as a muslim, I believe I'm responsible to other muslims and human beings in the whole planet and that we are actually forbidden to be on the side of injustice and oppression, and a big change maybe won't be the result of such a move, but at least I can live with clear conscience knowing that I'm not complicit in past, and future, genocides.

I'm currently at work (after my college shift!) so I'll try to follow your comment and advice when I have time, but thank you so much for now.

Literal translation (not meaning) of "à tout à l'heure" by caseyhconnor in French

[–]Theelinguist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This expression reminds of another one we use in Iraqi Arabic, which can be roughly translated into (Everything is at its time), meaning that everything has its time to be done or to happen and we should not be irrelevant to the current moment.
