Your guide to consecutive interpreting

Kudos to the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies for the release of よくわかる 逐次通訳.
This is a collaboration between that university and the Paris ESIT school. It goes down to much details on note taking as never before. The DVD that comes with the book is enough to justify the purchase, with two trainers performing real time note taking and later giving away a postmortem analysis on the why and how they did it. Unless you attend interpretation school, chances are you never had the opportunity to see and listen to such precious commentaries. I never had the opportunity, so far.
