Abstract
This paper covers different practical aspects of SL interpreting with advice on the interpreters’ attitude toward users of their services with a special emphasis on the importance of the 'right attitude' which will make them acceptable to the Deaf community. Inter alia, the author presents various types of employment, underlines how much interpreters themselves can gain from interpreting by expanding their knowledge, refers to 'zones of discomfort' in terms of learning.
