Why you should continue doing consec without notes (even if you hate it!)
Manage episode 379947461 series 3455427
Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.
Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.
In this episode, I talk about why consecutive without notes is a useful exercise, even if you graduated ages ago.
Here are some of the benefits:
- warm-up/firing up your neurones
- activating relevant vocabulary
- practising analytical skills
- practising visualisation to help you when you do consec WITH notes
- improving or maintaining your memory
- practising 'macro' (i.e. big picture) skills, rather than 'micro' skills.
For more detail on how to approach consecutive without notes, take a look at the Listening & Analysis resource on the ORCIT website, and watch this video from Andy Gillies.
Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
