What is Your Thought Process When Someone Translates Better Than You? Part 1

I volunteered to do one of my first Spanish translation activities for someone (really a family) who prefers to speak in Spanish. I had my struggles, but I was able to translate from English to Spanish and from Spanish to English for the most part during that activity. At the end of my experience that day, someone else was called in to complete the translation that I didn't know would be working there that day.

I immediately thought to myself: "Why am I here? Why am I trying to do Spanish translation?" because the person who was called in spoke much better Spanish than I did; most likely, the person was a native Spanish speaker.

What is your thought process when someone translates better than you? What would you say to me right after I finished volunteering translating?

Please leave me a comment sharing with me your thoughts.
