In the sequel to the webinar on note-taking, attention will be paid to some practical solutions to be applied by interpreters who would like to start using notes or who have been using notes but would like to find out about more effective ways of note-taking. The objective is again to foster the skill and the speed to take notes during a speech to be interpreted consecutively. However, more importantly, the second part will also be focused on some elementary steps so as to help new-comers to this skill to start using notes.
