Remote video interpreting
Communication goes far beyond words and face-to-face interpreting is my preferred way of enabling Polish-English communication. However in the current circumstances there is increased demand for remote interpreting and in my view the next best choice is video interpreting. It is far more effective than telephone interpreting as visual cues help give context to the words and assist in turn-taking in terms of who is speaking. In a complex communicative scenario these issues matter, even more so if there are more than 3 participants in the meeting.
I am happy to assist by joining your chosen platform and interpreting for your meetings with Polish speakers whose English is limited. I am well equipped to do so as I have a private room available, a reliable internet connection and good audio and video.
Here is some of the feedback I have received while working as a Polish interpreter:
