You will get Japanese ↔ English consecutive interpretation for meetings, events, etc.
Project details
I provide reliable Japanese↔English consecutive interpreting with optional Korean support. My focus is smooth, natural communication tailored to each situation. Sessions are available online or in person in the Kansai region.
I’ve supported multilingual communication by interpreting at multicultural events in Korea, as well as business meetings, media interviews, tours, and international events in Japan.
I adapt to business, events, and everyday communication needs. My goal is to help bridge cultural and language gaps in conversations and help give clients a peace of mind through effective communication.

Job Success
Sakaishi, Japan - 11:50 am local time
Native English proofreader with guaranteed and proven quality. Highest language proficiency certifications in Japanese (JLPT N1) and Korean (TOPIK Level 6).
Fast, responsive communication and clean deliverables ready for publication. Based in the Osaka area in Japan; flexible online.
-Services-
Translation (ENG ⇄ JPN, ENG ⇄ KOR, JPN ⇄ KOR):
• Admin/official documents, government/press/corporate communications, marketing/website copy, certificates, general documents
• Natural, culturally accurate phrasing with consistent terminology
Interpretation (Consecutive only):
• JPN ⇄ ENG, JPN ⇄ KOR, ENG ⇄ KOR interpretation
• Online (Zoom / Teams / Meet) or On-site (Kansai region including Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, Shiga, Wakayama)
• Interviews, corporate & business meetings, small-to-medium sized events, schedule coordination, and escort/travel assignments
• I manage turn-taking smoothly, keep participants aligned, and summarize points clearly
• Not offering: medical, legal, or highly technical interpreting; no simultaneous interpreting
Editing & Proofreading
• Multilingual review for clarity, tone, and style; localization, and term consistency using client glossaries, guidelines, and other specifications
-Experience-
• 12+ years across Korea and Japan (8 yrs Korea; 4+ yrs Japan) involving full-time translation with occasional interpretation in addition to English teaching
• Interpreting (consecutive):
I occasionally provide JPN⇄ENG / JPN⇄KOR interpretation services as needed for the Japan Association for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan for media interviews, business negotiations, escort interpreting and more for international media officials and business delegates. My consecutive interpretation approach ensures that information is conveyed well with natural conversation flow, and is great for situations where relationship-building matters as much as information exchange. My experience also includes KOR⇄ENG interpretation for business meetings and in-house meetings between management and staff.
-Additional Info-
• Strengths: cross-cultural nuance (Japan/Korea/America), code-switching across ENG-JPN-KOR languages, relationship-building, clear client communication, confidentiality
• Tools: Currently no CAT tools (I’m happy to work with your term bases/glossaries and use any tools provided)
• Availability: Flexible; case-by-case turnarounds; online or on-site (in Japan)
