Books/courses on simultaneous interpretation

[Kenneth E Udut]

Oh!  How exciting!  The cassette course
sounds particularly fasctinating -- I hope you will
post here on SEELANGS when it becomes available!

Tonight, I ordered the 2nd edition of the
English version of your simultaneous
translation book from barnes & noble.

After I have worked with it for a while, I will
also order the Russian version of your simultaneous
translation book,.and compare.  [definately
a very valuable resource - to have a book
on a subject in both the native language
and target language!]

I look forward to receiving the English version,
and if it works out for my purposes, the
Russian book next, and finally, when Valent
publishes your audio course, I'll get that too.

Jobs specifically for simultaneous
translators seem to be limited in
the US market (and the rate of pay levels
off after a few years, at least according
to the govt statistics), but:

1) I think for one like myself still learning
to speak Russian, it is a good resource
(and will help in times that I practice
"shadowing" Russian TV or shortwave)

2) being able to simultaneously translate
in both directions is a skill that can be
of value in unrelated professions,
much as an ability to write macros
in Microsoft Excel can find usefulness
in fields other than generating automated
reports on a day-to-day basis.

Thanks for the quick response!
