Interpreter Note-Taking: The Power of Selectivity 

Renowned interpretation trainer Virginia Valencia of Interpretrain.com, author of "Note-Taking Manual: A Study Guide for Interpreters and Everyone Who Takes Notes," taught this webinar on how to quickly capture in writing the main ideas of what you hear. When it comes to taking effective notes, what you don't jot down is as important as what you do. Our one-hour session drills this essential skill and takes your consecutive, spoken-language interpretation (sometimes called "translation") to the next level. Virginia uses a document camera to demonstrate live her own note-taking symbols, techniques and abbreviations. This is a language-neutral presentation in English, hosted by Marco Hanson of Texan Translation.
