Practice Session – Expert Witness Testimony

Practice simultaneous interpreting from English with this recording of a live teaching session featuring a simulated expert witness testimony. Complete the exercises at your own pace while benefiting from the explanations, participant questions, discussion, and solutions shared during the original study group (English > Spanish).

Although this practice session was originally designed for candidates preparing for the FCICE Oral Examination, it is an excellent resource for anyone looking to strengthen their simultaneous interpreting skills from English into any other language. The expert witness testimony is delivered at a realistic pace and includes challenging forensic concepts and technical terminology, making it ideal for advanced interpreter training.
