Igbo Consecutive and Face-to-Face Interpreting Service In Cornwall

Forms of Igbo interpreting

There are a number of forms of interpreting, but you can roughly place them within 2 categories:

• Consecutive
• Simultaneous

Consecutive interpreting is when one person speaks in one language, leaves a pause, and meanwhile the interpreter will verbally interpret what has been said in the other language.

Simultaneous interpreting is much more intense. Two interpreters will work in tandem delivering the interpretation at the same time as the speech.

Forms of Igbo consecutive interpreting

• Face-to-face
• Remote via video link
• Via telephone

 

Our Igbo face-to-face interpreters will travel on-site to help you communicate with your overseas visitors. We have interpreters based all over the UK (and beyond!) and so we will send the closest available to your location.

If you need an interpreter to attend via Zoom (or a similar platform), we can arrange this too. Just let us know what day, what time and send us the link so that the interpreter can join.

We also offer Igbo consecutive interpreters via telephone. This service is actually available in over 200 languages, 24/7, 365 days of the year. Just visit our telephone interpreting page to find out more.

While you’re here… some quite interesting facts about the Igbo language

Igbo is a member of the Volta-Niger branch of the Niger-Congo family of languages, and is spoken mainly in Nigeria. In 2018 there were about 29 million speakers of Igbo in Nigeria, mainly in the southweast of the country, particularly in the states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. There are also Igbo speakers in Australia (2,000), Canada (4,240), and the UK (7,950). There are numerous Igbo dialects, some of which are not mutually intelligible. The standard written form of Igbo is based on the Owerri and Umuahia dialects. Igbo is also known as Ibo, Ebo or Unege. Igbo is recognised as a minority language in Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. It is used in literature, and on the radio and TV. Courtesy of Omniglot
