Case Interviews in Other Languages

Hi All,

Has anybody got access to actual case interviews that are written in languages other than English? I've scheduled a few interviews in Spanish and it seems that all the prompts are in Englsh, requiring us to translate on the fly. Is this the norm, or are there resources in other languages available. Would certainly help the flow when practicing non-English language cases. Thanks!

Have you tried contacting Spanish Business Schools (e.g. IE, ESADE) to ask them for materials? Unfortunately I am not aware of anywhere online to find cases in Spanish, but I would imagine that a Spanish Business school is the most likely place to have such resources.

Hello!

No matter what the local language is, the materials are going to be in English (e.g., in my case, Madrid office, interviews were in Spanish mostly but the interview materials and test were in English). It makes sense if you think it, since it´s the way to standarize it. 

Cheers,

I worked in Madrid and while there were cases in Spanish, there either didn't have support material or it was in English. 

In some instances they would even give you the whole case in English to test your language proficiency.

So what you need is a partner (or a coach) that speaks spanish.
