IVA No: 16685We recently had the pleasure of using Patty as our translator for our trip to Beijing. She attended a tradeshow with us for two days and on the third day served as a translator/guide to sight see the city.
Patty speaks very fluent english and is very professional. Some vendors would speak next to no english, and Patty was an essential asset to understanding. Many vendors at the show would speak some english. Patty would hang back but also be listening. Often when things got technical, or "subtle" language she would jump in and make sure the vendor understood what our question was. You really don't understand how valuable a translator is until you are stuck in a situation without one (dinner one evening without Patty was quite the adventure trying to get home via cab. . .).
Last, Patty is very personable. Don't underestimate that when selecting a translator. You will be spending all day with this person, so it really is great to have someone who is a joy to hang out with.
We will definetly request Patty on our next trip to Beijing.

IVA No: 701060It was my good fortune to engage Shirley Mei late 2013. As an interpreter, business associate and guide Shirley combines many top grade skills. He work ethic is outstanding, researching her clients' needs thoroughly, well in advance. Her fluency in English is high, with good command of current idioms. Ms. Mei is very easy to communicate with.
A stylish individual, Shirley willingly offers perspectives that oft times prove invaluable. This business associate has excellent experience, readily offered, having worked in Europe as well as locally for worldwide businesses.
Ms. Mei's skill as a guide is exceptional. Highlights of a Sunday afternoon included watching a rehearsal in the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall of a dance and music extravaganza featuring Guangdong pop stars, dance troupes and children's groups, plus admiring a master candy maker craft phoenixes and dragons at the Old Docks Market. Shirley provides a taste of Guangzhou that tour companies can only hope to emulate.
Anyone looking for a multi-talented interpreter, business associate and guide in the Guangzhou area would be hard pressed to find someone as able as Shirley Mei. If your interests lie in just one aspect, whether business or touring, Ms. Mei would be an excellent choice.
Thank You, Shirley.

IVA No: 301097Vanessa was very helpful. Her English is better than many of the other interpreters I have come across. She took her job very seriously and made sure my manufacturers understood exactly what I wanted. Having her as an interpreter made things a lot easier for me.
Thanks Vanessa.
