Imagine taking your instructor/mentor with you on every interpreting job. Well, now you can!  Still Talking brings him/her along for you in these five DVD-ROMs.  Your instructor/mentor is with you every step of the way and you get to decide when and if you want their assistance.

The five DVD-ROMs present four scenarios each of which challenges your interpreting skills incrementally.

The twenty scenarios are as close to real world as you can get.

We offer you assistance before you interpret, while you are interpreting, and after you finish your interpretation.

We model consecutive interpretation with each utterance in all 20 scenarios.

Following each scenario we provide an additional interpretation by interpreters who’s experience range between one month to 25 years

These interactive practice materials are a welcome and much needed addition to the resources available for the education of interpreters. The realistic nature of the interactions, the wide range of talent featured, and the model interpretations, along with the tips for preparing to interpret, made these innovative materials beneficial for everyone from student to certified interpreter.  This is a "must-have" set of DVDs!!

All interpreters at all levels of professional development will find the Still Talking DVDs to be incredible skill-development resources. You can use these realistic and versatile DVDs alone or with a study group. There is so much material to practice and learn from! The unique helpful features of these DVDs give you an understanding of where your own areas of strength and weakness are and provide you with guidance and examples of how to improve. A strength of these DVDs is the clarity of the visual images and easy-to-use format. I especially love the idea that in addition to a suggested interpretation for each utterance, you can also view modeled interpretations from different interpreters with a variety of backgrounds and experience. This is a great exposure to different interpreting styles and provides additional "food for thought" on each interpretation. I would recommend these DVDs unreservedly to all interpreters.
