La sorpresa y bailamos?

Maru was telling us about a video that made her cry at work. What a coincidence that as soon as I got home a friend of mine who lives in NY had sent me exactly the same video! Here it is for you to practise your not-taking skills, consecutive interpreting skills and subtitling attempts. Below I am also posting a second video that would be perfect for the same type of practice. Only that the subtitles have already been written! Check them out. Would you do them in the same way? We'll talk about it in class.

Tourism

Last week we were dealing with the subject of tourism. Check the video about San Lorenzo festivities in Huesca, Aragon (Spain). As usual, use the video to practice your note-taking and interpreting skills.

Telephone Interpreting-Spanish

I follow several groups on facebook on ESL or interpreting related issues. Through one of them I received this video about telephone interpreting published by the University of Vigo. Check the University of Vigo website and use this video for practice in interpreting an introduction to the key note speaker. There are several videos for this lecture. The one I selected is the beginning of the lecture. Note how the presenter mentions Australia! As usual, use the video to take notes and practise your interpreting skils.

More on Note-Taking

Thanks to Rodolfo for sending a link to these Note-Taking videos.

Visualising Speeches & Mind Maps for Consecutives

The video below is the one I mentioned in class. Note that there are many similar ones on different topics.

Enjoy the practice! we will discuss it in class, but it'd be great if you left your comments here.

Translate from Image to Image

Helping a student find background materials for an Ethics assignment I came across some very interesting resources. One of them was a slide show on professional liability. It was published by a member of MiTiN, the equivalent to our AUSIT in Michigan.

The other thing that I thought may interest you is this entry in the MiTiN blog, When experience is your only dictionary. I hope you enjoy it and keep it in mind when we next meet after the holidays and I give you a problematic text to translate.
Have a good break!
