Sample Series III

Translation is a listening exercise. Sound is an intrinsic part of any creative translation, and the workshops of this series bring that into focus. Through exploring concepts like slang and onomatopoeia, students learn to listen to the musicality of words, think about register and rhythm, and gain creative confidence by being aware of these elements in their own writing.
