On 15 April, we will have a double class to practice remote interpreting from 1pm to 4.30 (the first half of this will be together with Consecutive Interpreting II: English). You can participate remotely or on site. If you are participating on site, please bring a laptop/tablet and a good headset if possible.
On 12 June from 3pm to 6.15pm, we will be in the aula of ZTW for the joint BA/MA project "Start-Up-Messe".

If you do not attend the first lesson without giving a good reason in advance, you will be de-registered from the course and your place will be given to the next person on the waiting list. If you are on the waiting list or registered during the second registration phase, I recommend attending the first lesson.
