This study aims to demonstrate undergraduate trainee interpreters' perceptions of and thoughts on interpreter training and interpreting as a profession. For this purpose, a small-scale questionnaire survey was conducted among undergraduates majoring in consecutive interpreting at a university in Seoul. The questionnaire asked the students about 15 topics, including what first comes to mind when they think of interpreter training, changes in their perceptions of interpreting, what they see as most challenging during the course of learning interpreting, their thoughts on the status/roles of professional interpreters, and the strongest/weakest points of interpreting as a profession.
