Consecutive interpreting is an interpreting method that’s ideal for smaller audiences, negotiations, and presentations. This type of interpreting is often used in events in which direct and clear communication between the participants is necessary but no technical equipment is available or needed.
Consecutive interpreting means that the interpreter waits until the speaker pauses to interpret what was said into the other language. A special note-taking technique is used for this interpreting method. The notes support the interpreter in repeating the content of what was said precisely and comprehensively without forgetting any significant information.

A significant aspect of consecutive interpreting is the time you need to translate into the other language after every statement. Since translation takes place after a certain number of sentences, every speech or meeting lasts twice as long as usual.
