Japanese Consecutive and Face-to-Face Interpreting Service In West Midlands

Forms of Japanese 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 Japanese consecutive interpreting

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

Our Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese language

Japanese is the official language of Japan, which has a population of over 125m. There are also around 2.5m people of Japanese origin, many of whom speak Japanese as their first language, living in Brazil and the rest of the Americas, particularly the United States. You’ll also find a sizeable expatriate presence in major cities such as London, New York and Paris. Getting used to Japanese grammar can be a bit tricky because of the word order: subject, object, verb. Great if you’re used to other languages such as German or Turkish which have similar word orders, but possibly a little confusing for English speakers unfamiliar with it. So, the verb is placed at the end, meaning a simple sentence like “I watch television” would be “I television watch”.
