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, use of target language, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about the strategies you might consider when interpreting from a language with a Subject-Object-Verb word order (e.g. Japanese) into a language with a Subject-Verb-Object order.

Look out for a rare outing from my German! 😁 There's a whole section you will probably want to skip [from 14:41 to 23:25] if you don't have German in your language combination. For those of you who want to brave it, here's the sentence I discuss:
"Trotz freundlichem Lächeln fürs Foto war den beiden Briten, angesichts des geänderten Blicks auf die Berge, eher zum Heulen zumute."

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

In this episode, I talk about how conversation classes or 'language enhancement' can help you improve your B language, and the sorts of exercises you could do with your tutor, e.g. :
- preparing a speech in advance, and incorporating 4-5 phrases and one or two useful idioms
- watching a video or listening to a podcast, then giving an oral summary
- chatting about everyday stuff, e.g. an item you saw on the news
- role plays
- describing a picture, going from the more concrete to an abstract discussion
- listening to your tutor giving a rather informal speech, and turning it into a more formal register
gap filling exercises

Here's the link to my blog post (for interpreting students) about working constructively with a tutor.

With Easter just around the corner, this is a lighthearted episode investigating whether chocolate can improve your mood and cognitive function.

[You may notice that I use the terms 'flavanols' and 'flavonoids' interchangeably in this episode. That's because flavanols and flavonols and subclasses of flavonoids.]
