Webinar Description
Part 2: Practical Note-Taking for Interpreters
Building on the skills from Part 1, this session delves into hands-on note-taking techniques designed to complement memory retention. Participants will learn how to structure notes efficiently using symbols, abbreviations, and strategic organization to capture key information without disrupting the interpreting flow. The session will emphasize reading back your notes to ensure clarity and accuracy, reinforcing note-taking as an effective support tool rather than a distraction. Through practical exercises, interpreters will refine their ability to take concise, structured notes that enhance their overall performance in consecutive interpretation.
Don’t miss this skill-building series and take your interpreting to the next level with stronger memory, sharper listening, and smarter note-taking techniques.
