A Message from the Founder

"Interpretation is not a passive act of translation; it is the active protection of constitutional rights. I founded The Interpreter Academy USA when I studied for interpreter certification. The resources available did not meet my standards. I also used my education and experience as a published author, teacher, and behavioral science, to create the lessons in context, instead of boring lists of words.

To ensure that no practitioner enters a courtroom without a professional shield and a technical compass, I created authentic courtroom and medical scenarios."

I believe a strong community is built on shared knowledge. This is why I provide these specialized glossaries to you for free. If you find value in these digital resources, I invite you to own the physical volumes. My books are designed to be your portable courtroom companions—containing the expanded definitions and procedural drills that transform an interpreter into a master of the craft.

— Samuel Arcelay, Founder
