Topic
After completing Part I, come and join this Part II and continue your learning process in a safe and encouraging environment. You will have the opportunity to learn with peers from across Europe through in depth practice sessions, games, and discussions. Through intensive practice and individual and peer feedback, you will enhance your acquired skills to work between English and your national sign language.

Topics include vocabulary building, use of synonyms, idioms and expressions, pronunciation, and correct phrasing. An increased emphasis will be on team and linguistic strategies to fine-tune the interpretation. I encourage you to register as a team, so you can build up your team and interpreting skills when working with English.

During the practice sessions you will interpret from spoken English to your national sign language and vice versa. You will use your own video materials in your national sign language to use for practice materials. Once you have registered you will receive information on how to select and provide these video materials.
