Consecutive interpretation is a method of interpreting spoken language where the interpreter listens to a speaker, takes notes, and then conveys the message in another language after the speaker pauses. This technique allows for accurate translation while maintaining the speaker's original intent and tone. Typically used in settings like business meetings, conferences, and legal proceedings, consecutive interpretation requires strong listening and note-taking skills. The interpreter must be able to recall and accurately translate the information once the speaker has finished speaking, ensuring effective communication between parties who speak different languages.
