Why is learning

challenging for English speakers -- and Turkish-English simultaneous
#interpreting

I loved the comment about how hard it is for translators when the speaker doesn't understand content of this graph and pauses in mid-sentence for them to translate...

Vanessa, thanks for sharing. Iโm speaking all these three languages fluently, but I am not perfect in anyone of them. ๐คฉ

You should try Amharic!
An example:
One word in Amharic (here written in Latin alphabet)>> 'tasmetalihalech' means 'she will have it brought for you'.
