1
Hello, I'm Zeliha and I'm a fourth year medical student studying in the UK.
2
If you're a bilingual person who's looking for a job with no experience,
3
hopefully you can learn from this and apply for the companies I'll be recommending and start earning money.
4
These are the points we'll go through, so let's go for it.
5
I earn between £2 ,700 to £3 ,000 a month.
6
This depends on how many hours I work.
7
This is through working as an over -the -phone interpreter for a translation service agency.
8
Most of my clients, around 80 % of them, are healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, midwives, caregivers and the ambulance.
9
Rest of the 20 % of my clients are from Metropolitan Police in London, UK or from FBI in the US.
10
And also sometimes I get calls from bank and from gas and electric companies.
11
In summary, my clients and the nature of the calls I translate for can vary a lot.
12
You translate a specific language like Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, whichever language yourself and the customer can speak to English.
13
Then you translate from English back to that language.
14
I thought the best way to explain how over -the -phone translation works is to show you guys an example of it.
15
So I hope you guys appreciate my terrific acting skills.
16
Hello, this is Zeliha, interpreter ID 00 for Turkish.
17
This call may be monitored for training and quality assurance purposes.
18
Is your customer with you or would you like me to call them for you?
19
Hello interpreter.
20
I'm a doctor working in a GP surgery and I'm here with my patient who's a baby and his dad.
21
Could you please ask the dad what's the problem and how can we help him today?
22
How can I help you today?
23
What's your problem?
24
My son has been having diarrhea for the last three days.
25
Alright, could you tell me a bit more about this diarrhea?
26
I genuinely enjoy this job because you get to witness the most real moments of the lives of strangers.
27
You hear about their life stories and it helps you appreciate the difficult
28
and different lives that other people live and I feel humbled to be able to help them.
29
On top of that I earn money when I'm in my pyjamas and from the comfort of my own home.
30
Also if you'd like to see a vlog of how I earn money
31
and spend my day as a freelance interpreter you can see
32
that on my channel as well and I'll put the link here.
33
This is a common question that I get asked by family
34
and friends when I tell them I work as a freelance interpreter.
35
I get paid for every second that I'm on the call for
36
so if I don't receive calls then I don't get paid
37
but most of the time that I'm logged into the interpreter portal I do receive calls
38
because I get calls from both the US and the UK clients.
39
So if it's night time for the UK and there is no translation services to do for them, then there is always calls coming from the US.
40
Because for them, it would be daytime and they would be in need of translation services.
41
Mostly between 8am to 6pm, I get calls from the UK.
42
And after 6pm, I usually get calls from the US.
43
This is the online interpreter portal.
44
So here, each one of these are calls that I have received
45
that day and the duration of those calls are shown in seconds.
46
For example, this call lasted for 6703 seconds which would make almost two hours.
47
How much I get paid is calculated by adding up all these seconds.
48
If you receive a call, you don't have to be actively translating in that call to get paid. For example, if a doctor is examining a patient or taking blood from them
49
and there is nothing to translate during that time
50
but I still get paid for the time that I wait for them to finish what they're doing. Or
51
when a banker puts me on hold to write down some notes on his computer then I get paid for
52
that as well.
53
Basically every second that I'm on the call for I get paid, doesn't matter if I'm actively translating or not.
54
There are so many over the phone translation companies because after Covid hit, as you know, everything moved from face to face to over the phone
55
and it stayed that way even after most of COVID restrictions have been removed
56
and thankfully finally companies started caring more about inclusivity and equal opportunities of people with cultural and language barriers.
57
But these are the top three companies I'd suggest you to apply with no experience in translating.
58
First company that I would recommend especially if you have no experience at all is Language Line Solutions.
59
I personally work for them and this is the third biggest language service provider in the world.
60
And when I first applied, I had no experience in translation at all, other than the unofficial translations that I've been doing for my family and friends.
61
I get paid £14 .40 per hour and I've been working under them for the last two years.
62
Also, I'll put the links of these companies in the description box of this video, so if you want to see that, you can check that out.
63
Second company that you can apply for is Language Empire.
64
This is a company that does face -to -face translation services, so it's not over the phone.
65
But this company is the easiest one to get into, in my opinion, because both myself and my friend, who had no experience in translating at all,
66
applied to this place and got the job offer.
67
So it's definitely worth a try.
68
As this company does face -to -face translations, you need to travel to the place that your translation service is required, but the travel costs are paid for.
69
The hourly rate for this is £14, so 40 pence lower than the previous company.
70
Also, when I researched them, the employer reviews and employee satisfaction weren't great.
71
But I'm not sure how accurate this is because even though I got the job offer, I've never actually worked for them because I prefer working from home.
72
Third company is TransPerfect.
73
This is the biggest language service provider in the world.
74
Professional proficiency in over -the -phone consecutive interpretation is required.
75
So I assume they're not as beginner friendly as the first company
76
which was LanguageLine because on the LanguageLine's website this qualification is only preferred not required.
77
According to Glassdoor this company also pays 1440 to their employees.
78
There are three stages in the application process that you'll be required to pass to get the job offer.
79
First one is an obvious one uploading your CV, second one is interview and the third one short translation test.
80
For the first stage
81
which is uploading your CV my top tip would be to
82
look at the skills they're looking for in the job description
83
and add those to your CV to prove that you have those skills
84
and relate those at least one of your past experiences.
85
This doesn't have to be a job experience, it can be an experience you acquired from your university
86
or from your school i took a module called fundamental skills for scientists
87
and in that module we had to send a cv for a specific job
88
that they assigned us and i scored 100 out of 100 in
89
that assignment and the tip
90
that i've just given you probably helps me a lot to get
91
that full mark second stage is the interview my top tip for this would be definitely just proving them
92
that you know about the importance of confidentiality of your customers
93
and of your clients and that you're confident you won't let any confidentiality breach to happen
94
because of a mistake that you do.
95
Because in the calls that you'll be translating personal and financial information will be discussed.
96
So you need to show them that you know how to protect
97
that information and how to get rid of that information safely.
98
For example by practicing clean desk policy and by not speaking about the conversations you translated to anyone.
99
Because confidentiality breaches cost millions of dollars to these companies
100
and to refresh your knowledge on confidentiality you need to complete
101
a yearly compliance training on their learning portal third stage is the short translation test
102
if you've come to this stage well done this is the easiest stage to pass in my opinion
103
because here they only test if you actually speak the language
104
that you claimed you do before this test they send you a list of around 300 key terms
105
that could come up during your assessment these are mostly medical
106
and financial terms so my top tip would be for you to familiarize yourself with those terms
107
so that's basically it i hope this was useful consider subscribing and i'll see you in the next one my patient
108
memory has been hello interpreted i'm gonna have to time
109
okay baby it's done oh yoni yoni yoni yoni yoni yoni yoni yoni you

実生活の場面:電話通訳の現場

この動画では、医学生のZelihaさんが電話通訳として働く様子が紹介されています。彼女は英語とトルコ語を使い、医者と患者の間で症状の説明や質問を翻訳しています。「お子さんの症状はどうですか?」「下痢が3日続いています」など、日常的な会話が職場でも使われる実例です。こうした場面を通して、英語スピーキング練習をすると、実践的な表現が身につきます。

覚えておきたいフレーズとコロケーション

  • 「Could you please ask...」(~を尋ねていただけますか?):依頼する時の丁寧な表現
  • 「What's the problem?」(どうしましたか?):症状やトラブルを聞く基本フレーズ
  • 「lasted for... seconds」(~秒続いた):時間の表現で、通訳の報酬計算にも使われる
  • 「on the call」(通話中):電話での作業を表す際の便利なフレーズ
  • 「quality assurance purposes」(品質管理のため):ビジネスシーンでよく使われる表現

これらのフレーズは、動画で英語学習する際に特に注目してください。自然な会話の流れの中で使われるので、覚えやすく応用もしやすいです。

シャドーイングチャレンジ:今すぐできる練習

さっそく英語の発音を良くするための課題です。動画の中の通訳部分(医者と患者の会話の翻訳部分)を選び、以下のステップで練習してみてください。
1. 動画を1文ずつ止めながら、Zelihaさんの発音とイントネーションを耳で捉える。
2. その直後に同じ速さ、同じ調子で繰り返す(シャドーイング)。
3. 5回繰り返したら、自分で録音して元の音声と比べてみる。
この練習は、shadowing siteでも行えますが、動画自体を使っても効果的です。shadowspeakのように、声を真似ることで自然な発音が身につきます。

日常生活の中で使われる英語を学ぶことで、スピーキングの自信もつきます。ぜひ今日からこの練習を始めてみてください!

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
