Active and passive translation
You will learn to convert a written text from the source language into the target language (active) and from the target language into the source language (passive).

You will learn a specific note-taking technique that will enable you to translate and repeat the speech just heard.

Dialogue interpreting
With this technique you will be able to be the third person who mediates and interpret what is said by two interlocutors who do not speak the same language, in situations such as work meetings, business trips or company visits. Without technical aids.
