By Maiv Txiab Vam Xeeb Yaj

Book Overview

Maiv Txiab Vam Xeeb Yaj has written this book to summarize her insights, challenges and discoveries during her time working in many capacities as an interpreter. Maiv Txiab illustrates the processes while identifying the barriers and gaps in critical meanings and messages which facilitate misunderstandings between Hmong and English language. If we are not communicating or conveying the same language, thinking the same way, then we can not see the world through the same eyes.
