With over 6,500 languages spoken around the globe, communication across cultures can be a challenge. Translators and interpreters help us overcome these barriers. To mark International Translation Day, celebrated worldwide on September 30, our show pays tribute to Slovakia’s language professionals.
We meet Pavol Šveda, EU-accredited interpreter, president of the Slovak Association of Translators and Interpreters, and associate professor at Comenius University. He shares insights into the cognitive demands of simultaneous interpreting and the current state of the profession in Slovakia. Also joining the conversation is Miroslava Petrovská, Head of the Slovak Interpretation Unit at the European Parliament, who reflects on the significance of her work within one of the world’s most complex multilingual institutions – the EU.
And in the new episode of Slovak Sound Check, we dive into core vocabulary: learning the names of family members in Slovak.
