Re: CDI: Aftermath In response to Mikey's vlogs about issues as DI when teamwork failed and led to confusion and negativity. Always always be prepared-- before, during and after the interpreting gig! Before is often skipped-- due to a time crunch or overassuming of your team interpreter ("oh I know him well enough, so no need to collaborate!"), countless other reasons, but I think the 'before' preparation is the most important part since it gives you a better leverage at teamwork when both parties KNOW eachother's preferences and can work effectively that way. I SO look forward to your progress of CDI workshops! I am thinking about coming over to one of MassRID's CDI workshop this fall... Tags: asl vlog cdi

CDI Explained: Part Four-- Advice for Test-takers CDI Explained: Part four "Advice for Test-takers" ***** Synopsis ***** My Advice to You, a Prospective CDI: Throw out your already-established notions of ethics, common sense, and whatnot when it comes to Deaf Interpreting... because it might not match RID's definitions. Remember, it is their test, so make sure you understand RID's viewpoint on ethics or common sense (even if you disagree). and DO SIGN UP for CDI training workshop when it comes around... because you won't know when the next one will come. Just grab the opportunity if you do have ONE ounce of consideration to become a Deaf interpreter (part-time, full-time, freelance, whatever.) Tags: CDI ASL Deaf

A Branchful Morning A semi-documentary of what happened as one tree decided to topple down... **** TRANSLATION SUMMARIZED IN ENGLISH *** The cat was stressed out, my husband felt something vibrating which was odd. Thought somebody tried to break in... nothing. Woke up next day, husband says "look out the window" and there the tree is! IT seems that one tree which had two elongated branch (two cores) and one snapped off due to a heavy rainfall over the weekend. Thanks god the tree didn't break through the window and THANKS GOD we are DEAF so we slept throughout the night just fine while our cat panicked as the tree toppled down on our home.

Certified Deaf Interpreter Explained :: Part Two "Deaf Interpreter-- ASL only! Not." Part two of the "CDI:explained" the Series. ****I have met so many people who mentions that they want to become a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) and so on... but I realized something needs to be cleared up... People seems to misunderstand the duties and responsibilites of a CDI. I have met people who go on and on about how proficient their signing skills are in ASL-- so I invite them out to workshops, and once we get to the workshop, they immediately protest against English all because they don't understand some words. They object to have English, oppression by hearing people, and that it should be all in ASL, deaf pride and so on... Whoa whoa, you cannot say that ! You must understand English as well! Because at the job, you have to interpret the English text to ASL for the Deaf consumers! CDI does mean a person is proficient in ASL, but it also mean that the person knows English as well. CDI is truly a bilingual job-- you must know English and ASL. You have to understand, it is not only the ASL-user Deaf people who complain, I have seen some oral Deaf people do the same-- They will mouth out with PSE signs, "I can interpret, I already know English, so it should be easy because I can lipread or hear with my CI, oh so easy to interpret for Deaf consumers!" Which I thought , oh okay, come out with me to the workshop... and then they say, "Oh I cannot do ASL, I have a hard time understanding the Deaf consumer's signs! My god! I cannot understand ASL!" Oh... but if you want to become a CDI, you will have to deal with those signing Deaf consumers... Being a CDI doesn't mean you get to cherry-pick your consumers out of Deaf/HoH community-- oh no, no way. Being a CDI means you are certifed to handle -any- situations with -any- type of Deafness. CDI really validates the idea of Deafhood in terms of including all different backgrounds, like minimal language Deaf people to educated Deaf-Blind people, to sighted Deaf people, Usher's Syndrome, to people who use ASL but not familiar with English, to people who understand English very well but not ASL. Some days for instance, I mean if I am to become a CDI, one day I can interpret in ASL for a Deaf-Blind consumer then next day, I have to interpret in SEE for a Deaf person who cannot understand the professor who signs in ASL at Gallaudet, so they might bring me in as a CDI to interpret in SEE for the Deaf consumer to understand the professor. So, CDI is not limited to ASL-user consumers, but for all types of Deaf people who do sign-- PSE, SEE, ASL, Gestuno, or other foreign signing language... so, yeah that... a CDI is required to know English, the spoken language of hearing world, plus ASL of the Deaf world; being in the middle balancing both worlds by bridging the communication between deaf and hearing consumers. You cannot sit in one world more than another... "I am in Deaf world because I prefer ASL all the times, Deaf Pride!" or "I am Oral, I use Cued Speech, I am in Hearing world, not with you Deaf people" -- no no, you are in middle of both worlds with unbiased understanding of both worlds, that you can connect with many different people from the Hearing world with many people in Deaf world-- so many different types of connection but as long both worlds are connected. CDI includes all Deaf people, different language/signing preference, and all that.... So.. hopefully it does help you understand the CDI topic a bit better. I do wish there are more workshops offered all over so people can take one or two workshops to get an idea... I know it is hard to find information about this, that's why I try to share information that I found, but you have to remember that I am not an expert on CDI. I learned about this on my own from various places, and garnered all together to share with you... if you do want more than what I have to offer, it is best to ask somebody else...

Certified Deaf Interpreter Explained :: Part One "I want to become a CDI, therefore I am Deaf!" Part one of the "CDI:explained" the Series. **** Transcript made possible by me. Let me know if you see any major errors in this translation. ***** A lot of you sent me inspiring messages about Deaf interpreting— but I noticed a pattern of one single error, more like a misunderstanding... so I want to make a vlog to clarify which means I will sign slow and add transcript or subtitled, it depends, to ensure that everybody will understand me. OK, so I am talking about "CDI" which stands for "Certified Deaf Interpreters"....... okay, I don't mean to belittle you but I want to explain what CDI, the term, means exactly. "certified" means a person that has been certified due to passing an examination. "Deaf"... (sort of obvious what it means) "Interpreter" (a person who interpret) So now I am focusing on two terms, "Deaf" and "Interpreter." What does it mean, "Deaf Interpreter"? Well, an interpreter who is Deaf themselves.... Hearing-impaired, Hard-of-Hearing, whatever label you got for us... so an Interpreter. Is. Deaf. You see, "interpreter" is a noun, and if you put another word in front of it which is known as an adjective which refers to the noun. So, "Deaf" is the adjective in this case which refers to the noun, "interpreter"... So let's rew back to the term "CDI." "CDI" is who? Deaf people who have became certified interpreters. Does it mean "CDI" include Hearing people? NO. For hearing people, you use the terminology "CI" or "CT"- CI stands for "Certified Interpreter", no mentioning whether the person is hearing or deaf.... "CT" stands for Certified Translitera which means word-for-word. Again, no mentioning of hearing or deaf. Yet CDI does state that it is for Deaf peple—it already got that capital "D" in its name! So, hearing people cannot apply to become CDI. The organization RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf) will require proof if you want to apply as a CDI by showing your audiogram to justify your deafness. So RID already enforces the position of CDI to be for Deaf people only. Hearing people who want to become interpreters take up the CI/CT test which is now known as NIC "National Interpreter Certificate" which is new. So again, I want to clear something up— I am DEAF. I cannot hear nothing. I am Deaf, pathologically and culturally with a capital D. And I want to become an interpreter. An oxymoron? No. It is quite possible! "Interpreters for the Deaf" is a line that is overused.... "Interpreter for the Deaf" again and again, even the RID included that line [aside: like hey?] so I understand how it is easy to get into that rut by automatically assuming that CDI means Certified Interpreter for the Deaf. No...actually if you want to think about it, Certified Interpreter for Deaf should say "CID." My situation, what I want to be, is CDI [Certified Deaf Interpreter]... so remember, Deaf interpreter, Deaf Interpreter, Deaf interpreter... Thumbs Up? Tags: Deaf Interpreter American Sign Language

Sorry, my bad. A short vlog about the fact that it rained in San Diego last weekend (Nov 28 to Dec 1)... I think on Friday it was two inches which is a lot for an arid city with an annual average rainfall of 7 inches. I realized that it was me... all my fault for bringing over the raincloud from DC. It must have followed me as I flew across to SD because when I flew back, it rained here in DC too. The raincloud is right above my head-- so if you need some rainfall because your town is in a drought-- let me know and I will fly over and bring the raincloud with me. :-) (The end credits if you cannot read: : ) Thanks to all Who curses me For bringing the rains to San Diego. Without you guys I won't have an idea for this vlog" Tags: Deaf rain San Diego Washington D.C. sorry
