NO
From experience even if someone has solid communication skills in English as a second language they may struggle in certain situations and benefit from having a third party present. We have the cultural understanding to better convey what a non-native speaker is trying to get across.
IS LANGUAGE ENOUGH?
NO
The need for an interpreter may suggest a setting that is intimidating. We have the ability to make this experience as comfortable as possible for our clients. Key to this is the ability to connect with a wide range of people from all walks of life. So, beside the linguistic knowledge, we are empathetic which puts our clients more at ease.
IS A NATIVE SPEAKER ENOUGH?
NO
With many years of experience interviewing subjects, writing and translating text to and from Portuguese and English, in a variety of situations, we are in an excellent position to offer you a great service.
