Consecutive interpreting involves listening to what someone says and then, after they have finished speaking, reproducing the same message in another language. The speech may last between one and twenty minutes, and the interpreter relies on a combination of notes, memory and general knowledge to recreate his or her version of the original.
There are several reasons why having a considered and consistent system for taking notes in consecutive interpreting is useful, if not essential.
Note taking in consecutive interpreting is really something that you should practice a lot. In this course we will help you to improve your note taking technique for consecutive interpreting.
