Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.
Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, use of target language, and marketing.
In this episode, I talk about speakers with strong accents.

These three things will help you improve your comprehension of strong accents:
I mentioned the following podcast episodes:
Here is Tony Rosado's blog post about heavy accents.
Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
