This practical coursebook is designed for teachers and students of consecutive interpreting, as well as language learners who wish to strengthen their linguistic skills through interpreting practice. It develops essential abilities such as short-term memory, sight translation, and effective note-taking, while presenting consecutive interpreting as a valuable complement to language learning. The book is divided into three sections. The first introduces the fundamental principles of interpreting, with particular emphasis on the consecutive mode. The second explores the technical aspects of note-taking and provides practical guidance for developing an effective system. The third offers a selection of texts that can be used as oral drills to reinforce interpreting skills. By combining theory with practical exercises, this coursebook introduces learners to the field of interpreting studies and supports the development of confident, effective translation and interpreting skills in an increasingly globalized world.
