One of the most famous quotes about interpreting:

“Do you, Ambassador Zorin, deny that the USSR has placed and is placing medium - and intermediate - range missiles and sites in Cuba? Yes or no? Don't wait for the translation. Yes or no?”

The phrase belongs to Adlai Stevenson, American politician, when he forcefully asked the Soviet representative, Valerian Zorin, if his country was installing missiles in Cuba (1962).

I offer you two varieties of interpretation services - live interpreting and video conferencing. Whether you need a simultaneous interpreter or a consecutive interpreter, I will do the job in either direction in the following language pairs: English - Russian, Dutch - English, Dutch - Russian.

In any country of the world. Provided the parties involved have at their disposal a software that allows users to make telephone calls and conduct videoconferencing over the Internet. For most purposes, selecting such global provider of VoIP (Voice-over-Internet protocol) as Skype will suffice.

With Skype, you and up to 24 other people can take part in a conference call.

What do you need to use Skype Video-Conferencing?

  • A computer running Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X or Linux
  • A headphone/microphone head-set or use the built-in microphone and speaker if you have a laptop
  • A PC-compatible camera ("web cam" - sometimes also already built into your laptop)
  • A fast internet connection
  • The Skype software. It can be downloaded here.
