This complete set of Spanish-English interpreter-training self-study materials includes a set of eight one-hour audio CDs and a book of texts to interpret and sight translate. Notes, comments, and suggested translations are included. Materials provide a total of 62 lessons, as follows: Simultaneous Interpretation, 20 lessons Consecutive Interpretation, 18 lessons Sight Translation, 24 lessons Ideal for beginning and intermediate interpreting students and for working interpreters who want to develop and maintain their skills. These glossaries contain terms that are both very useful to the court interpreter and, often, very difficult to find elsewhere-you definitely won't find them all together in any other single volume. The glossaries included in The Interpreter's Companion are: Legal Terms, Traffic & Automotive Terms, Drug Terms, Weapons Terms, Medical Terms (including forensic serology and folk medicine terms), and Slang Terms. All six glossaries are bidirectional-you can look terms up in either English or Spanish. Illustrations include extensive firearms, medical, and automotive illustrations. This new edition of The Interpreter's Companion contains over 200 all-new entries, as well as many revised entries, compared to the Third Edition. Can also purchase Interpreter's Companion separately
