I am a native speaker of Persian from Iran and a PhD candidate in English Language Teaching. There is no interpreting school for Persian speakers aspiring to become conference interpreters. What should we do? Is self-training the only way to become an interpreter? What other ways are available for speakers of Persian and other less-known languages? Any program, application, pills to swallow? What? |

Hi Mohamad, I wouldn't advise teaching yourself. It's very difficult for lots of reasons - no feedback, no assessment, no help, no practice materials, noone to compare yourself to etc etc. There is, though, at least one school that teaches Persian-English. ISIT in Paris had 2 Persian speaking students last year and has 1 this year and teaches Persian-English whenever students apply and gain admission. Good luck! |
