Me too, WMT. As an aside, how did you find the interpreting for French...?

Just did my French interpreting yesterday. It went alright, although annoyingly I knew the vocab of the practice paper far better than that of the real thing. Still, although I don't remember needing to use any impressive vocab, I guess I got all the points across somehow or other.

If you haven't done it yet, don't worry - it's not as difficult as you expect. My paper was about someone hosting a tennis tournament, but I can't remember there being any sports-specific vocab; only words I can remember are louer (hire) and Newcastle :P

For some reason, I thought the interpreting paper was easier than past papers had me thinking it would be! Picked up the old 'providing that' as their token subjunctive construction lol so I was happy with that :biggrin:

What did you think of yours??

^ Yes, me too! I was chuffed with the subjunctive there. I had test two, which was also the TT. The only problem, is I vousvoyed the whole way through, and I should have tutoyed. But whatever, I don't care.

I also didn't understand the word 'ancien', because of the pronunciation, but got it eventually...
