Interpretation & Translation Services
Chinese and English are completely different kinds of languages. Their pronunciations, structures and grammars are quite different. These differences cause gaps and barriers between so that a huge amount of people from these two language backgrounds can’t pursue conversation, understanding and communication each other so that their life styles, life scopes, career expansions and culture integrations have been significantly restricted and limited.
