Simultaneous interpreter Tatyana Zalesskaya

When a delegation from Korea arrives at a corporate party and half of the people in the room do not understand a word, the conversation falls apart into pauses and polite nods. A familiar picture for those who negotiate with Asian partners: the meaning gets lost in the pauses, and the director's joke hangs in the air.

Tatyana Zaleskaya does exactly this — simultaneous interpretation from Korean. According to her own description, she has been speaking Korean for 30 years and has been working as an interpreter for 20 years. During this time, she has interpreted for high-ranking officials, including the President of the Republic of Korea Roh Moo-hyun, for heads of government, ministries and state institutions, as well as for private companies in Korea and Belarus. In addition, she is a literary translator of three books — meaning she works with Korean not only by ear but also as with a text.

On site it looks like this: the speaker talks, Tatiana keeps the pace and intonation, and the audience hears coherent speech rather than a set of terms. In 2020 she founded the online Korean language school Korean Dream, where she runs programs from beginner level to simultaneous interpreting, conducts workshops on interpreting and speaks at industry events, including at Minsk State Linguistic University. For the client this means that the person does not get lost in front of a large audience and knows how to explain complex things.

Format: business meetings and presentations with the Korean side, corporate parties and company anniversaries with partners from Korea, New Year's evenings where interpretation of greetings and toasts is needed. Leave your number — we will check an available date and quote the fee.
