This paper deals with the viewpoint of a Deaf person, who can point out issues that interpreters and Hearing people may be unaware of. One point is the sociologic importance of Name signs, which have a specific value in the Deaf community. Other points discussed include how interpreters negotiate topics, the use of consecutive interpreting rather than simultaneous wherever this is possible, the use of first and third person pronouns, monitoring feedback from users of interpreting services. Throughout this paper, the sensitivity of the Deaf, a community which has suffered from oppression by the Hearing around the world, comes through as an important factor which should be duly taken into account.
