Which activities do you think could help you improve your interpreting skills and why?

Being a good interpreter takes a lot. Here you are some activities that may help you improve:

• Doing memory exercises that increase the ability for improvising, retrieving information and recalling. This is very important because when the interpreter is working, there's no time for things like taking notes, reading cards or giving yourself time to think about what to say.
• Reading a lot and keeping yourself updated with different topics.
• Training yourself on locating info and understanding it in the least time since interpreting sometimes does not give space to thinking for so long.
• Being a good public speaker
• Not letting yourself be freaked out by the situation when things go wrong, which means try to rehearse at home, have lots of practice on delivering speeches, train on improvisation, etc.
