[Online TESOL] Re: To teacher Grace Yang

Hi Hyong Woo,

I am glad you enjoyed the lessons so far.
The best way I can address your question is, as an interpreter and/or translator - the most important thing above everything else is to convey the meaning clearly, so it is easy to understand, and that it is being expressed in the correct context.
Details are important, but not if it jeopardizes the overall meaning and clarity. As your skills improve, you will learn how to incorporate these details, imagery, and other techniques in a natural and fitting way.

-Grace.

When I studied translation by myself, I always used to put efforts to keep the original meaning of the text and I cared very much about prepositions and tenses. However, after I watched your videos I felt like you prefer simplicity as far as the original meaning is maintained.
