Other Comments/Learning
- “You know.." is an informal register which we want to avoid in a formal setting.
- Whisper interpreting (the interpreter listens to the presenter by ear, and then whispers the translation to an attendee)
- Consecutive interpretation is like memory training
- Simultaneous interpretation helps to build up Semantic Mapping tremendously
