A book for teaching and self-learning, "Between the Signs" is particularly useful for interpreters as it will guide you towards acquiring a note-taking technique that is faster than writing, associative and language-independent. With the help of "Between the Signs", learn how to develop your own pictograms and symbols, how to structure your notes efficiently, and practise note-taking alone as well as in groups. Teachers and learners will benefit from the exercises that include practical illustrations of suggested signs and symbols, as well as from references to relevant literature. "Zwischen den Zeichen", this book's German precursor, was published in 2015 and has since been used for teaching and research purposes at numerous institutions throughout Europe, e.g. in Norway and Hungary, Portugal and Italy. It is now followed by "Between the Signs", not strictly a translation, but rather an adapted version written in English to reach an even larger audience.
