Speech preparation to improve your retou...

Sophie Llewellyn Smith
About this episode

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 share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about the many benefits of preparing practice speeches in your B language:

  • discovering, activating, and retaining terminology and whole chunks of idiomatic language
  • practising and improving your pronunciation and intonation
  • if you're working from a bullet point outline, practising reformulation

...and many more!

Two websites I mention:
Speechpool
procon.org


Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
