Reading Material
Here are some sites that have piqued my interest of late. Perhaps you’ll find them useful:
Gregg Shorthand
The Simplified Gregg Shorthand Manual
Gregg Shorthand Anniversary Dictionary
If I’m going to be an interpreter, I’m going to have to learn shorthand. It’s like a whole other language!
An organisation called VITS (not sure who they are, haven’t finished reading it all actually) surveyed some interpreters a while back. A lot of interesting stuff. Quite long though.
I found out that most interpreters are migrants. I’m not sure why, the more I learn about interpreting the more I find that not many people whose first language is English are very interested in it. Strange.
