This interactive multimedia resource provides several professional views on this topic Picking up new ideas quickly http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/7027 Picking up new ideas quickly The National Network for Interpreting project (NNI) Interpreters have to be able to think on their feet; they have to be able to pick up ideas quickly; as soon as the speaker says something, they must be able to grasp it.
