Consecutive interpretation is oral interpretation with pauses when an interpreter at first hears the source language phrase and then interprets it into the target language. This is a usual type of interpretation which is widely used at business negotiations, exhibitions, banquets, excursions and other official and non-official events when there is a need to interpret a dialogue.

Such type of interpretation is very effective when negotiations have a mobile character with a lot of traveling involved like working at industrial enterprises, negotiations with further sightseeing, etc.

Apart from the language and subject field knowledge as well as the ability to perceive a foreign language, the consecutive interpretation requires self-control, self-confidence to perform in front of the audience, the right-pitched voice, pronunciation, tact, pleasant appearance and other communicative and personal qualities and skills.

Ukraine-Europe is led by these standards, thus providing professional consecutive interpretation of all levels of complexity.
