T&I input from Spain

View from our building at Petersham TAFE
I just came across two very interesting pages related to translating and interpreting:
  • Don de Lenguas, a podcasting blog from the Language, Translating and Interpreting section of the Universidad de Salamanca. These podcasts are of interest to all of you, translating and interpreting students. Interpreting students can use them to practise note-taking and interpreting skills, translating students can use part of the interviews to write teh script and translate it. 

I have added a permanent link to these two pages on the right sidebar for future access.

Congratulations, Olatz, a fantastic example to follow!

    Interpreting Practice

    Two videos for Spanish <> English interpreting practice. Both of them are on topical issues:
    • NSW TAFE cuts, by the ABC journalist Quentin Dempster
    • Medios de (des)información, interview with Spanish journalist Rosa Maria  Calaf
    Translating students can use them too. Write the script and translate it.
