Language Experts publications are catalogued by the National Library in Canberra, Australia and each of the State Libraries around the country including the Parliamentary Libraries in the relevant states. The books are copyright and available in print and eBook format from Language Experts directly or from our book distributor About3.
"A Training Handbook for Health and Medical Interpreters in Australia" is a surprisingly good book for interpreters. It gives me insights into the medical field as it is well researched and thoroughly easy to read" states Angela Lam, a practitioner in Mandarin and English languages.
