First of all lets talk about

Interpreting

So, what is
interpreting?

Interpreting is an oral

translation of a text,
without writing.

You listen to someone

speaking one
language and then
you speak it to
another person in a
different language.

Interpreting is

important in practical
work and often times
you will not have
access to tools like
the internet or a
dictionary.
