Consecutive Interpreting

In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter speaks after the source-language speaker has finished speaking. The speech is divided into segments, and the interpreter sits or stands beside the source-language speaker, listening and taking notes as the speaker progresses through the message. When the speaker pauses or finishes speaking, the interpreter then renders a portion of the message or the entire message in the target language.

Consecutive speaking is used when interpreting for individuals or small groups and is very effective for depositions, doctor appointments, business meetings, sales calls, school meetings, and any small group setting.
