Have you ever been translated non-simultaneously? It IS weird. I've had this happen to me a couple times. You go on & on about something for about 5 minutes (you never know quite when to stop--how much can the interpreter take in?) and then the interpreter speaks a few phrases and you wonder, "hunh? Was he just summing up or did he leave something out, or ???"
OTOH working with simultaneous interpreters is confusing, but once you get past the initial disorientation it's not so bad.
