WordPal Services
WordPal is specialized in three (3) distinct yet interconnected packages:
1. Teaching English and Portuguese as a second or foreign language and for specific purposes
2. Translating documents and written materials from English into Portuguese and from Portuguese into English
3. Conference interpretation in the English<>Portuguese language pair.
These services include simultaneous interpretation in large meetings, conferences, workshops and events, and consecutive and escort (tourist) interpretation for smaller groups
On the first package, Teaching English, taking advantage of visa exemption facilities existing between countries, WordPal teaches the basic English skills – speaking, writing, reading listening comprehension and pronunciation – to learners of all age groups from Portuguese speaking countries. It also teaches those basic Portuguese skills to learners of all age groups from English speaking countries desiring to interact with Portuguese speakers or visit Portuguese speaking countries.
The second package involves translating into Portuguese or into English documents of all kinds. These include, among others, reports, minutes, records, brochures, certificates and diplomas (birth, marriage, academic qualifications) and legal documents (affidavits, service agreements, Memoranda of Understanding).
WordPal also revises and proofreads documents prior to printing.
The third package has to do with providing interpreting simultaneous interpreting services at all formal meetings and consecutive and escort interpreting to smaller groups. Here WordPal serves as a bridge to ensure that both sides engaged in communication understand each other and none of their messages gets lost in translation.
