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 share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.This episode is all about memory!To improve your long term memory and recall of facts and vocab:- create mental images, using all your senses- create a mental image or story using rhymes, humour, or something outrageous- use the 'loci' technique- when reading information you want to retain, use the biggest screen possible- revisit information you want to remember (e.g. use a flashcard app like Quizlet for vocab)To improve working memory:- try puzzles like crosswords, sudoku, or mental arithmetic- try games (board games, memory games, chess)- apparently, exercise, relaxation, and sleep are all good for working memory (or perhaps a lack thereof is bad for working memory...)- problem-solving exercises- try remembering the last 10 Prime Ministers in your country, and putting them in alphabetical order in your headFood for memory:- green leafy veg- oily fish (2 portions per week)- berries- tea and coffee?- nuts and seeds, especially walnuts and sunflower seeds- soya (?)- a square of dark chocolate!Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!Sophie (aka The Interpreting Coach)Support the showSupport the showMy website and blog: https://theinterpretingcoach.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/interpretingcoach/Twitter: @terpcoachLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/the-interpreting-coach/Or email me at [email protected]
