What is the difference between a translator and an interpreter?

A translator works with written documents or audiovisual materials, taking them from the source language to the target language. In turn, an interpreter is a professional who conveys what one or various speakers are saying live, at the same time, and with total accuracy. It is called simultaneous interpretation when it occurs at the same time the lecturer is speaking, or consecutive when the speaker talks first and, consecutively, the interpreter. Whispering is another interpretation technique where the interpreter whispers in the client’s ear without interruptions and without the need for sound equipment.

Is the hourly fee for group classes or only for individual lessons?

The different modalities are defined in alignment with the goals and needs, or the work positions. The group modality includes participants with compatible language levels, at a unique cost, regardless of the number of people, thus significantly optimizing the return on the investment. The individual service is generally recommended for senior management.
