Welcome to the United Nations Interpretation Service Speech Bank. This platform is aimed at interpreters, students, teachers and anyone who wishes to practice and/or prepare for interpretation tests and/or Competitive Exams for Language Positions (CELP).
The Speech Bank contains speeches that have been delivered at the United Nations as well as speeches on subjects frequently discussed at the United Nations. Speeches are categorized by language, length, level of difficulty (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and year. You may also search speeches by keyword or topic (e.g : climate change, SDGs...). All sound files are paired with their transcripts.
The Speech Bank also contains sets of previous competitive exams – that is, complete language sets and also individual speeches – this will enable you to familiarise yourself with these types of examinations.
