What is consecutive interpreting? How does it relate to simultaneous interpreting?
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter waits for the speaker to finish a sentence, idea, or sometimes an entire speech and then renders the message into the target language. Consecutive interpreters often take notes to help them remember. CI has more time pressure than translation, but less pressure than simultaneous interpreting. CI can be used as a professional tool when working, and can be used to develop and strengthen SI skills.
