It covers the same content as a shorter episode, but with more thoughts, stories, explanations...and echoey sound! You can find the shorter version here.
This was the first time I ran a survey so I could incorporate your thoughts and experiences into the podcast, and I really enjoyed it! Many thanks to everyone who contributed.

This episode is dedicated to impostor syndrome.
Here are some of the approaches I suggest (I've added chapter markers to help you navigate):OBJECTIVE METHODS to fight negative self-talk
Check the facts/zoom outFeedback (client, peer) - keep a file. Document your successes.Questioning your assumptions/expectations - journal of self-discoveryIs my reaction based on fact or conjecture? Am I just making up stories in my heard?Develop the thought: does this person’s opinion matter to my happiness or job security? What would happen if they thought badly of me?PRACTISING SELF-COMPASSION
How would you talk to a friend?AffirmationsLearn to accept praise (thank you)Embrace progress, not perfectionCelebrate your successes. Don’t belittle yourself.GET HELP
Open up to trusted people (and get a reality check or emotional support)Life coach or therapy – low self-esteemREDEFINE ‘SUCCESS’ i.e. progress, not perfection
Challenge yourself to fail - did it hurt? e.g. write with wrong hand, art course.CPD RESOURCES

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.
This episode is dedicated to linguistic interference.
Here are some of the exercises I suggest:
- in simultaneous, start every sentence in a different place from the original.
- try making your EVS (décalage) longer.
- practise sight translation, giving yourself time to think about whether the output sounds natural.
- do gap filling exercises (Cloze tests).
- in simultaneous, press pause after an idea, then reformulate it, looking for concise and natural formulations, as opposed to parroting.
- work on your target language (collocations, particularly).
- when you encounter a tricky word to translate, where it's tempting to use a calque (e.g. précarité in French), look it up and consider the various contexts in which it is used. How can you make sure you're expressing the idea, rather than translating the word?
- think about how speakers frame/introduce ideas in your source language(s). Can you think of good ways to render these introductory phrases in your target language?

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.
This episode is dedicated to one of my hobby horses: analytical skills.
I gave several examples from a French speech on the EU's Speech Repository. It's by Michael Picq (speech number 32840).
Here are some of the exercises I suggest:
- listen to a speech and enter the information in a 4-column table (links, main info, secondary, details)
- listen to a speech then write the outline (e.g. bullet points)
- work on summarising texts/speeches
- do a 'bare bones' simultaneous, just getting the main ideas across
- pick an interview, listen to the question and the first few words of the answer. See if you can anticipate what the speaker will say next.
- gap filling exercises (Cloze)
- listen to a speech in chunks and ask yourself questions: why is the speaker saying this? What are they likely to say next? Is this fact or opinion? What biases does the speaker have? etc.
- get a speech transcript and annotate it. You can write little notes based on your background knowledge, or link parts of the speech with arrows, or circle the logical connectors, etc.
I highly recommend the Listening & Analysis resource on the ORCIT website (orcit.eu) for more 'theory' and exercises to help with analysis.

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:

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

This episode is devoted to a discussion of exercises that can be useful in the 'early simultaneous stage' - particularly for improving split attention.
A bit shoutout to Andy Gillies and his book Conference Interpreting: a Student's Practice Book, as well as the fantastically useful interpretertrainingresources.eu
You can find Robin Setton's article here, and Karla Déjean Le Féal's article here. I also mentioned Cyril Joyce's early sim exercise in this episode, and Roderick Jones's methodical approach to using consecutive as a basis for early simultaneous.
And of course I suggested the ORCIT website, which contains useful material not only about simultaneous, but consecutive without notes, note-taking, and public speaking as well.Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!

In this episode, I talk about collocations: identifying them, exploring them, and practising using them. Collocations can make you sound more natural in the target language, and if you get them wrong, can mark you out as a non-native speaker.
I think collocations are best practised in context (so rather than trying to memorise a list, for example, try preparing a speech on a specific topic and thinking about what collocations you could use).
I tried out several tools for you:But honestly, the two most useful tools, in my opinion, are a good old collocations dictionary, and ChatGPT.

Here's the link to the paper by Elisabet Tiselius, titled 'Deliberate Practice: the Unicorn of Interpreting Studies'.
Andy Gillies's book, containing all manner of exercises to work on every aspect of your interpreting, is Conference Interpreting: a Student's Practice Book.
And Ericsson's paper:

Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.
don't try to 'translate' - in seeking a balance between sentence-level, 'micro' interpreting and 'macro' interpreting ('the big picture'), err towards the big picture.interpret defensively, i.e. don't commit too early. Give yourself time to understand whole ideas - this may involve having a longer décalage.Keep your output simple. You might want to summarise more than usual.Use salami technique to give yourself more space for listening.Say what you HAVE understood and/or know to be true.Listen out for big ideas in the speech, e.g. is a proposal good or bad? Is the budget increasing or decreasing? Is an amount more or less than last year?Pay attention to anything that conveys the speaker's OPINION, including linking words, intonation, and facial expressions or body language.Make sure you use your background knowledge to fill in the gaps in what you can hear/understand.If necessary, use what the audience knows to interpret in a way that is less explicit, but that the audience will still understand.Even when you're not interpreting, listen to the rest of the meeting to make sure you're up to speed.

In this episode, I talk about speakers with strong accents.
This is a subject I love, and so I may have become a bit carried away and shared lots of anecdotes (or....what some people may consider waffle) at the beginning of the episode. 😊
Here are some suggestions for dealing with speakers with strong accents in simultaneous:Prepare the assignment very thoroughly, and if you have the speakers' names, search for them on Youtube to see if you can find videos to practise from.
exposure. Get some practice! (If you're looking for interpreting practice with a variety of English accents, why not check out my collection of modules (E4T) focusing on specific topics, and designed to help interpreters improve their English C? Topics include vaccination, fake news, the circular economy, the gig economy, taxation, and supply chains. Just scroll down my home page to find the links to each module.).enlarging your vocabulary.making sure your working memory is in good shape.
These three things will help you improve your comprehension of strong accents:I mentioned the following podcast episodes:

This episode is for those of you who have just begun simultaneous. There are a few habits or approaches that I think it's best NOT to fall into. See if you agree!
1. too short a décalage
2. trying to say EVERYTHING
3. sticking exactly to the sentence structure and word order of the original
4. 'translating'
5. not having a pure client

Have you ever been in a stressful situation and felt completely frozen, or panicky? Panic is not a helpful reaction when you're in the booth and you need to be thinking clearly so as to analyse the speaker's message and convey it confidently.

For this episode, I interviewed our colleague Sylvie Levi Roos about her long career, in which she worked as a French booth interpreter with two B languages. We had a long chat about how she developed and maintained two retour languages, and what her top tips are for retourists.
Many thanks to Sylvie for sharing her time and wisdom with listeners!
