Hello everybody,

I'm currently writing my Masters' Thesis on Telephone Interpreting, which is becoming more common every day and still, there are hardly any classes available to prepare (future) interpreters for this especially tricky task. That is why I am compiling information from people with experience in this field. So, if you have ever done Telephone Interpreting or know anyone who has, no matter why or in which context or languages, I would be very grateful if you took the time to fill out this very short questionnaire, copy and paste your answers here or send them to [email protected] so I can use the anonymous info in my thesis. Thank you all very much in advance!

Here come the questions:
