Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.

Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, use of language, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about Latin words or phrases that are commonly used in English.

• ad hoc: for a particular purpose
• ad lib: improvise
• ad infinitum: for ever
• alma mater: your university
• alumnus/alumna: graduate of a particular university
• bona fide: in good faith, genuine
• carpe diem: seize the day
• a caveat: condition, objection
• de facto/de jure: in reality/in law
• deus ex machina: a plot device (in a play or book) to resolve an impossible problem
• ergo: therefore
• e.g. (exempli gratia = for example), i.e. (id est = in other words)
• etcetera
• in camera: behind closed doors
• in situ: on the spot
• mea culpa: it's my fault
• per capita: per person
• per diem: daily (e.g. daily allowance)
• persona non grata: an unwelcome person
• per se: in itself, specifically
• prima facie: at first sight
• quid pro quo: 'this for that', an exchange
• status quo: state of affairs
• verbatim: word for word
• vice versa: the other way round

Mens sana in corpore sano: a healthy mind in a healthy body
Pecunia not olet: money doesn't stink
Plenus venter non studet libenter: a full belly doesn't like studying!
