I have been using the services at Andiamo! for several years now, mainly for interpreting for tribunal type hearings. I have always found them to be very professional, with very good customer service, quick to respond and very competitive on price. The interpreters that are used are of a very high standard for what I imagine is a very difficult role, particularly when using technical and medical terms.

Andiamo! thank you for helping me to source an Italian-English interpreter for my recent assignments. Amy Robinson, my case handler, was always at hand upon any request including at short-notice. All interpreters provided were professional and extremely helpful during all assignments allowing me to assist my client during a difficult time. I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again and I will certainly recommend to others in the future.

Just to say that I have really enjoyed working with Andiamo! – both the Tigrinya and the Somali interpreter you have provided have been excellent. Staff have been very happy with their understanding and supportive approach towards both the needs of the school and the needs of our students and their families. The Tigrinya interpreter has worked with us on several occasions now and has been really good at helping us understand the students’ backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. It has also always been easy to arrange bookings with you even at short notice.

I can confirm that our experience with Andiamo! was excellent. We urgently required the services of a Slovak Interpreter for a court hearing in Middlesbrough. We essentially gave Andiamo 2 days’ notice of our requirement. Was grateful that Andiamo were able to provide a interpreter at such short notice.

The interpreter attended court well in advance of the hearing, enabling us to have a conference with the client. The interpreter was very efficient and developed a good rapport with the client. We achieved the desired outcome thanks to the proficiency of the interpreter.

Overall the service provided by Andiamo was first class and I would highly recommend their services.

We have used Andiamo Language Services multiple times for different translation/interpretation needs that pop up on our cases, whether it be for a trial day in court to assist a lay witness, or an urgent translation of a written statement, they are always highly professional and deliver a high-quality service. Sarah is a pleasure to deal with and we have always found her service to be friendly, highly efficient, and very accommodating.

Consecutive interpreting

What is consecutive interpreting?

At your event, the interpreter will actively listen to the speaker while making notes. The speaker talks for around thirty seconds, then pauses, and the interpreter will interpret (translate verbally) what was said into the relevant language.

A second speaker may then respond to the first, which the interpreter can relay into the first speaker’s language again. Thanks to the interpreter, all parties can understand each other despite not sharing a language.

Time is also a factor in consecutive interpreting services. As everything is said twice (once by the original speaker and subsequently by the interpreter in another language) you should bear in mind that the length of your event may double in length.

Consecutive interpreting differs from simultaneous interpreting, which requires the interpreter to relay what is being said in one language into the target language in real time.
