Speech Repository

In this bank of speeches you can find hundreds of specially selected videos of real-life speeches and tailor-made pedagogical material. The Speech Repository is a free resource exclusively for non-commercial purposes. If you are an interpretation student or teacher at a DG SCIC partner university, a member of a partner organisation or a professional conference interpreter working for the European Institutions, you can log onto the full version of this e-learning tool, My Speech Repository, through the European Commission's user authentication Service (EU Login).

Selected speeches (or pedagogically-relevant parts of them) - in all languages of interest for the European institutions - are collected by a pool of professional interpreters and stored in a searchable online database.

The speeches include:

• recordings from public conferences on Commission premises

• press conferences

• parliamentary debates

• interviews

• speeches given specifically for training purposes by EU interpreters and university trainers

The material is collected from the European institutions, international and national organisations and institutions.
All speeches are categorised according to:

• language

• level

• intended use (consecutive or simultaneous interpretation)

• domain ("subject")

• type

  
  Speeches are regularly evaluated and reviewed by professional interpreters and experienced interpreter trainers. Users can search for speeches using different criteria and watch them on a personal device.
