Two fun tricks for working on your retour

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, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about two fun ways to work on your retour that didn't exist when I last worked intensively on mine, ten years ago.

These are:

1. Sight 'translation' (interpretation, really) using DeepL or Google Translate to help you with the output - use with caution!
2. Using flashcards on an app such as Quizlet or Anki to help you develop rapid reflexes when working into your B language.

I've talked about these methods in a lot more detail, with examples, in a blog post.

If you're interested in how new technology can help you with language learning, why not join Josh Goldsmith and Kerstin Cable's new AI Language Club?
