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 language, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about how I maintain and improve my retour skills by working with a practice partner.

Here are some of the resources that come up:
Podcast about the UN exams
Podcast about EU interinstitutional test
Podcast about preparing speeches in a B language
Speech Repository speech about organ donation

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