Consecutive Interpreting:  Consecutive interpreting allows the speaker (the source) to complete while the interpreter is attentively listening.  Once the interpreter has captured and understood the source message, the interpreter translates it, accounts for the grammar and syntax of the foreign language, and generates a rendition into the target (the listener’s) language.

Why: Consecutive interpreting is typically the most accurate; it allows the interpreter to hear and understand the complete message and affords the interpreter the opportunity to provide the best rendition. It does not require any equipment.
