    I can already tell she's an experienced interpreter by the way how slowly she talks

    Very Inspiring material, As musician and interpreter I can tell that there a close relationship between delivering a message through Linguistic Language and Musical Language. Both skills require high level of cognitive skills and a lot a practice to achieve mastery. I practice both skils everyday, Cheers!!

    This video was a real motivation for me, after having listened to it, I kept on practicing regularly, perhaps not daily as but I make sure to practice more than 2 or 3 times a week. I hope it will motivate you too fellow interpreters.

    Excellent points, thank you for sharing your experience. It proves to be a real motivation, whereas I tend to study my own performances during interpretation, even overthink sometimes. I believe that practicing translation/interpretation can always be done (thinking in English, for example,

    Okay but practice hooow 😭😭 how can we practice interpreting alone when not in an actual job already. Musicians can practice at home alone the exact thing they'll be doing on stage, but as an interpreter how do we practice when we're just alone at home? What kinds of exercises or practice can we do?

    You can study from home in SEVERAL ways including: listening to the news and trying to interpret what they are saying. Or by studying your vocabulary in the languages you intend to interpret in.
