Interpreting

Are you coming to Tuscany for business or a personal meeting and need to interact with people who don’t speak English well, while your Italian is limited or inexistent?

If you’ve already made attempts on your own, you know how frustrating it can be not to fully express your thoughts or understand others due to language barriers.

This is where I come in as your interpreter: I will accompany you and be by your side to translate your words into Italian and convey the responses of others in English.

How My Interpreting Service Works

My interpreting service in Tuscany is designed for small groups of people who communicate in Italian, and with whom you need to engage for work or personal needs. No special equipment is needed, and it can take place practically anywhere: during a visit to a company, at a trade fair, in a hotel, on the sidelines of a conference, or even in a public venue. I will simply stand beside you and be your voice in Italian.

The key requirement for a successful interpreting service is trust. To properly prepare, I need as much information as possible about the nature of the meeting and the people we will be interacting with. When I interpret, you will be able to trust me as your linguistic intermediary. Rest assured, I will provide the professionalism and discretion you need.
