Consecutive Interpreting

Consecutive Interpreting Service: Your Trusted Language Bridge

A consecutive interpreter conveys interpretation into the target language turn-by-turn after listening to a speech while taking notes, ensuring accurate and effective cross-cultural dialogue. Therefore, consecutive interpreting requires a broader skill set than just language proficiency, including active listening, note-taking, memory, cultural competence, adaptability, concentration, and delivery skills. Essentially, consecutive interpreting is a complex cognitive and linguistic task that requires a combination of innate abilities and honed skills.
