Many people have the need to take notes: interpreters, attorneys, health care providers, and students, among others. Some try to learn short-hand, a complex system which requires several months (even years) of practice to master. Did you know there is a widely unknown but simple alternative to take notes more clearly and efficiently? Jean Franois Rozan and Andrew Gillies, two pioneer conference interpreters, provide techniques to significantly streamline your note-taking. Although originally created for interpreters, these practical guidelines are extremely helpful to anyone who takes notes. With this textbook you will acquire up to 40 new note-taking symbols through dictations (available as free audio files at www.interpretrain.com/audio). With each exercise you will be provided a sample of notes to compare with your own.
