Main Challenges
Most phrases are short and simple. The couple tries to get personal insight from the interpreter, and the interpreter should choose to remain neutral in the situation. There are some numbers and measurements that will be important for the interpreter to remember/write down correctly. For added difficulty, the interpreter can choose to also mention conversions from metric to imperial measurements.
