In Other Voices

In Other Voices is the essential coursebook for any student studying Interpreting and a companion to the bestselling In Other Words by Mona Baker.

exercises for class work or self study



further reading and a glossary of key terms



a wide range of language examples with back translations to ensure accessibility

A companion website featuring further exercises and sample speeches
