How to Get to the Most Out of Interpetrain's Note-Taking Manual: An Interpreter Training Course

[@taitirarosa7674]

I just started an interpreter training and I was so overwhelmed. Till I found these videos. Thank you. Educational, and the teacher is wonderful.

[@Teacherwisner]

Me too I am taking trainning but note taking is killing me

[@akelsaleh3024]

This video is most important in interpreting I have seen

[@EnsaladaDeMiVida]

You are an excellent teacher. This is most likely the best video on taking interpretation notes available on youtube right now. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Interpretrain]

Thank you for you feedback, Nanyi. Your support encourages our team to keep developing new materials!

I am going through a interpreter training of my own, thought it's great teaching you note taking is very much the low point....So you're really saving my life with both the free audios and this lesson, it's extremely comprehensive and to the point but useful and precise thank you

Writing down after dictate is perfect

[@maxwell6898]

here to echo the comments of others - starting as a healthcare interpreter, feeling pretty confident, but worried that my notes will be sub-par and distract more than help. You explain things clearly and have helped me to gain a bit more confidence before my first assignment.

[@Interpretrain]

I know it can be hard, especially at first. Please be patient and persistent. It takes lots and lots of practice, but with time and perseverance you will see improvement. I promise. For the time being, it's important to interrupt the speakers as often as you need to interpret the message faithfully. We wish you the best in your professional journey.

[@claudiamatolcsy]

This video is so helpful! I just got a job as an interpreter. No training or experience required, only requirement was to be fluent in the target language. My first real-time interpreting conversation experience really humble me. I want to excel and have found your videos pretty helpful.

[@Interpretrain]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support. Please keep working hard to achieve your professional goals. We wish you lots of success.

I was about to skip to the next video at the beginning as I did not like the numbers swapping exercise, but then the lecture became really interesting ; I even decided to buy the manual...thank you Virginia

I just came across your channel. I am currently taking an online course for Med intrpt- and am anxious to begin my sourcebook of symbols that will work best for me. My question is why would you rely on something other than arabic numbers when making notes. after trying your challenge I came up with o, tw,th,f,fv,s,sv,e,n, c (just a little diff)but am trying to understand the circumstance this would benefit over writing a number. I look foward to your response, and researching your videos. I also am checking out the site- congratulations!!

[@Abdo.R.Mohamed]

when u said "u focus on the Hm Ehm to let the doctor knows if his patient is hesitant" , my trainer said don't try to mimic the hesitations and uncertainty because the Doctor or the client might think that u as the interpreter is the one who's not sure of his interpretations and u'r the one being hesitant , what do u think ?

[@Interpretrain]

Thank you for your question. In court interpreting we must convey the hesitations in the speech because they reflect the LEP court user's state of mind. When it comes to medical interpreting, conveying the patient's hesitations may also offer the health provider crucial information about the patient's mental state. This is especially true in psychological or psychiatric cases. Additionally, conveying the hesitations in the speech allows other health care providers (even those who do not work with mental issues) to assess how committed a patient is with the treatment and/or how much the patient understands what he/she/they must do to follow their treatment. In short, I do believe it is important to convey the hesitations expressed in the original speech. Remember, our main concern as interpreters is to accurately render the original meaning. Our priority should not be how we are perceived. We hope this helps.

[@lizb.7384]

i dont understand why in diaganol and not in the same line

[@Interpretrain]

Jotting down your notes diagonally is the result of combining two techniques: vertically and shifting. These two techniques increase the clarity of your notes because they allow you to understand how the parts of the speech relate to each other. Distributing your notes on the page in this diagonal way helps you distinguish the main ideas from the supporting ideas, which in turn allows you to understand your notes better and recall the message more accurately. We hope this helps. We wish you great success in your professional journey.

[@Lauralaey5]

I've never take notes while interpreting, and I've work as an interpreter for over 30 years. So I'm lost in this one, and, I don't get why people take notes while interpreting. Would somebody explain it to me, please. Tia

[@Interpretrain]

Some people don't need to take notes to interpret faithfully in the consecutive mode because they rely solely on their memory. Others find that notes enhance these skills: listening, attention, comprehension, and memory. Each interpreter must do whatever helps them to do a good job, especially when it comes to accurately interpreting long chunks of speech.

Easier to write "her" than drawing the symbol. There's no point showing her note pad with her own notes, as we can't see anything. The audio exercise is not free, they want your personal details Overall a good course for a novice.

We welcome constructive reviews as they help us improve, however, please comment within the communal context that this training is complimentary.

I disagree with you...it is easier to write the symbol than to write "her".....It's important to do more than just complain when there's something you don't like...You need to try to do something about it or you're nothing but a whiner...Those who complain the most accomplish the least.....She is a great interpreter instructor, and you are just a whiner.
