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

Как этот видеоролик помогает в практике разговорного английского
Этот ролик — отличный материал для обучения английскому по видео, так как он содержит естественную разговорную речь, близкую к реальным ситуациям. Диалог интерпретатора с врачами и пациентами демонстрирует живой язык, сленг и быструю речь, что идеально подходит для тренировки shadowspeak (т.е. повторения за говорящим). Благодаря разнообразию тем — от медицинских вопросов до работы в полиции — вы получаете возможность практиковать понимание и воспроизведение разных стилей речи.
Анализ естественной речи: 3 ключевых фрагмента
Рассмотрим фрагменты видео, чтобы понять, как говорить естественно:
- "I earn between £2,700 to £3,000 a month. This depends on how many hours I work." Здесь используется простая структура, но важна интонация. Слова "depends on" произносятся быстро, сливаясь в "depen zon", что делает речь живой. Обратите внимание на паузу после "month" — она подчеркивает логическое разделение мыслей.
- "Hello, this is Zeliha, interpreter ID 00 for Turkish. This call may be monitored for training and quality assurance purposes." Формальная речь, но с естественной скоростью. Фраза "may be monitored" произносится плавно, без перерыва, а "quality assurance" — с ударением на первом слове, что важно для правильного произношения.
- "I genuinely enjoy this job because you get to witness the most real moments of the lives of strangers." Слово "genuinely" добавляет эмоциональную окраску, а "get to witness" — мягкость, которая делает речь неформальной. Обратите внимание на повторение "of the lives of" — это обычная структура в разговорном английском, которая избавляет от избыточности.
Практика разговорного английского: эффективная рутина на базе видео
Используйте метод shadowspeak (или shadow speech) для улучшения произношения и fluency. Вот простой план:
- Выберите фрагмент видео длиной 30-60 секунд (лучше с диалогом).
- Посмотрите его 2-3 раза, чтобы понять смысл и интонацию.
- Включите запись на своем телефоне и повторяйте за говорящим синхронно — старайтесь копировать скорость, интонацию и паузы.
- Сравните запись с оригиналом: обратите внимание на те места, где вы отставали или произнесли слово неправильно.
- Повторяйте до тех пор, пока речь не станет автоматической.
Этот метод помогает тренировать мышление на английском и улучшать произношение, так как вы учитесь повторять естественные паттерны речи. Регулярная практика (3-4 раза в неделю) приведет к заметному прогressу в разговорном английском.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing — действие началось раньше и продолжается | has been having · I've been doing · I've been working |
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | may be monitored · are shown · is calculated |
| Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчас | have received · have been removed · I've never actually worked |
| Превосходная степень the -est / the most … — самое большое или малое в группе | the best · the most real · the easiest |
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
