What’s one thing you wish healthcare providers knew about working with interpreters?
In this snippet from our new On Call: Life as a Healthcare Interpreter series, Spanish interpreter Ryan Popma shares one of the biggest misconceptions in the industry, that being bilingual automatically makes someone a qualified interpreter. Spoiler: it’s so much more than that.
But that’s just one part of the conversation.
In this full-length interview, Ryan also opens up about:
✨ How he prepares for unfamiliar or high-stakes assignments
✨ What neutrality looks like when emotions run high
✨ When and how interpreters can step into advocacy
✨ A simple practice that helps him stay focused under pressure
✨ His hopes for how providers can better collaborate with interpreters
Whether you`re an interpreter or you work alongside one, this series is here to inform, connect, and elevate the interpreting profession.

Our interpreters are at the heart of everything we do, and last week, we took a moment to celebrate them. 🌞🔥
We hosted a special Staff Interpreter BBQ to connect, unwind, and show appreciation for the incredible work our interpreters do every single day. Whether it’s supporting patients at critical moments or building bridges between cultures, your impact is felt far beyond words.
People First is one of our core values at Linguava, and it doesn’t just apply to the work we do. It’s also about building community, creating space for joy, and showing gratitude for the people behind the mission.
To our interpreter team: thank you for being the voice of care, the champions of access, and an essential part of our Linguava family. 💚
