Speech Repository 2.0

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.

It contains a collection of recordings, either excerpts of conferences or other public meetings as well as training speeches made by interpreters from the European institutions. These are organised by language, level of difficulty, type of interpreting mode and subject.

You have immediate access to more than 4,000 speeches. It covers all 24 official EU languages, the languages of some of the candidate countries, plus Russian, Arabic and Chinese.
