Speech Repository

The Speech Repository is an e-learning tool developed by the Directorate-General for Interpretation which provides audio-visual training material for conference interpreting students and trainers.

Over 4,000 training speeches made by interpreters from the European institutions and excerpts of conferences or other public meetings. These are classified by language, level of difficulty, type of interpreting mode and subject.

All 24 official EU languages are covered, as well as the languages of some of the candidate countries, Russian, Arabic and Chinese.
