What is interpretame.com?
Interpretame.com is a platform that will transform the process of interpreters’ training as well as the entire approach to the teaching and learning of interpretation, allowing for the first time a personalized experience.
Interpretame.com believes in customized learning and fosters self-paced and self-monitored practice, supported by a community of peers.
Who is interpretame.com for?
Interpreting students: Learn by doing and feel like an interpreter from the safety of your own home, until you are ready to get into the booth and apply what you’ve learnt. You’ll be able to offset the anxiety so typical of interpreting students with unlimited practice and will benefit from the knowledge of more experienced interpreters and interpreter-trainers.
Professors and universities: Improve your teaching experience by letting technology enter your classroom. Send out, receive, and grade assignments, implement virtual rooms for the teaching-and-learning dialogue, foster peer-to-peer cooperation, and monitor your students’ progress. This innovative software will compensate for the reduced contact hours and help your interpreting students gain autonomy.
Interpreters: Prepare yourself easily before any conference and be the most well-fitted professional any client could ask for. A cost-effective preparation tool specially suited to enhance the performance of freelance interpreters who offer their services in different fields and have to master a new topic every month.
Language learners: Speak like a native, exposing yourself to real speeches and actively working on them through shadowing and retour interpreting. New language learning techniques for people with advanced skills who have been stuck at a level in which there is no more grammar to learn but still plenty of room for improvement in expression and new vocabulary acquisition.
Why is interpretame.com different?
Interpretame.com is a comprehensive software that allows you to go through all the steps to train interpreting from beginning to end:
Finding speeches
Recording yourself while interpreting them
Listening to your performance
Filling-in self-assessment sheets
Grading yourself
Asking other users for feedback
Creating glossaries
Memorizing new vocabulary
Testing your new knowledge
Sharing resources
Discussing interesting topics with your peers
Improving interpreting-related skills such as mental readiness, bidirectionality, context inference, rewording or improvisation.
You will not need any other resource.
Being a user-centered platform, it makes possible for every person to design their own exercises, and choose topics to prepare, as well as the mode in which to do so. In addition, it allows you to choose between going through the entire process independently and keeping your files private, or relying on peer-assessment and share your files with them.
Other platforms provide downloadable activities and offer general guidelines, which means limited resources and the risk of getting out of date if the owners don’t add new activities regularly. Contrary to that, in interpretame.com you will not find prepared activities to fill in, print or solve — you’ll be given a tool to customize your own interpreting training that suits your needs, plus a community of peers to support you through the whole process.
On top of that, it is a tool for the interpreting classroom that can be used by professors and universities to monitor their students’ progress by granted administration rights.
How does it work?
If you are a university, academy or professor who wants to use interpretame.com as an interpreter-trainer or entity, our Campus account will grant you administration rights over a given number of students’ accounts, which you’ll be able to monitor, edit and delete, and whose work you’ll be able to grade through a private grading system. You’ll also get room to add private sections not visible to other users or entities.
If you’re a student or an interpreter, simply register at interpretame.com. You can do that already and get instant access to your customizable profile, your private storage space, and a public forum with different rooms.
Your private profile contains different sections that will guide you through the whole training: from obtaining a speech, to recording your interpretation, assessing it, or sharing it. Interpretations stored by users are called Prets — we encourage you to go to our site right now and create your first one to get a taste of the platform. How? Since an image speaks a thousand words, we’d like to invite you to check the following short video-tutorial:
