Special attention is given to the accuracy of the interpretation to the original speech, to the proper ownership of the speaker's speech on sophisticated issues and reasoning, to the faithful rendition of the speakers train of thoughts, the rendition of the nuances and intents inferred to by the speaker and to the fluent mastery of the target language (French) to a high level of accuracy, as well as to the suitable adaptation to novel communicative scenarios, to flexibility and mental acuity, tactfulness and self-control.
