Talk-Active optimized the learning experience of our employees

Our company has used Talk-Active for different employees for over 7 years. We used them both in an individual setting and in group lessons. We have used Talk-Active to instruct employees with varying degrees of Spanish knowledge. What has impressed me the most is their ability to individualize their training to the needs of the particular student/group. Pace and content of the class was adjusted to each circumstance to optimize the learning experience of our employees.

Additionally, we have used Talk-Active to interpret documents for our company. Talk-Active has always done an impeccable job on these, always considering the context of the content, instead of performing a little translation.

I recommend Talk-Active for all your language needs, no matter which direction you are trying to learn.

Talk-Active had been an invaluable asset to our company

We have worked with Fabiana Martínez for several years and she has been an invaluable asset to our company, HEYCO Energy Group. We are a US-based oil and gas exploration company with a large project in Northern Spain. Fabiana and  Talk-Active LLC have continued to do projects for us, including translating business documents and news articles from the Spanish press into English. They also have assisted us in translating English documents and presentation material into Spanish, and in preparing for meetings that we have attended in Spain over the course of the last years. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can provide you with any further information.

Without the vast array of the services of Talk-Active, I’m not sure I’d still be employed!

Having spent entirely too much money on Rosetta Stone and every “Speak Spanish in 1 hour” type gimmick available to humanity, I finally found something that works! There is nothing like one on one language tutoring and no one that does it as well as Talk-Active. I’ve recommended Talk-Active to all ages and language proficiency levels from 5 year olds to my own mildly senile grandmother (not going to mention which one I’m referencing!). But it’s not only private lessons that Talk-Active provides… I work for an energy company that has me traveling monthly to Latin America and have benefited enormously from their help. Everything from extremely intensive engineering reports, environmental permits, and corporate and governmental legal documents, to preparation aids for news and TV interviews. Without the vast array of the services of Talk-Active, I’m not sure I’d still be employed!

Talk-Active Has Prepared Legal And Website Translations For My Law Firm

After living and working in Argentina for a couple of years, I returned to Texas to practice law. My practice includes occasionally representing individuals who speak only Spanish, or who are not otherwise comfortable communicating in English. In this regard, Fabiana has helped me over the years maintain my Spanish proficiency with lessons customized around my particular areas of specialization. Talk-Active has also prepared written translations for my firm from English into Spanish for work-related legal translations as well as for my firm website. Fabiana’s enthusiasm and creativity are contagious. I look forward to working with Talk-Active LLC in the years to come!

Responsive and Responsible Business

Talk-Active selects the appropriate tone, word choice, and sentence structure when translating from English to Spanish for my audience which is a linguistic and ethnic minority in a Spanish-speaking country.   I am indebted to them for the sensitivity and kindness which they use in helping me reach out to this group.  A pejorative word in a translation or condescending attitude wrapped around a sentence could destroy my relationship with the people.  That’s why I always turn to Talk-Active for my translations–plus they are a responsive and responsible business.  Anyone looking for diplomacy and command of the subtleties embedded in English and Spanish words will find the solution at Talk-Active.

Working with Talk-Active Has Been an Absolute Joy

Talk-Active is a full-service, first class language services provider.  I began working with Fabiana Martínez as a conversational Spanish student and was so impressed with her understanding of language instruction and ability to properly convey consistent messages in multiple languages that I now refer any translation services for my firm or our clients to Talk-Active.  Working with Fabiana and Talk-Active has been an absolute joy – it is rare to find such a combination of excellent work product along with true care from a customer service perspective.  ¡Muchas gracias Fabiana!

Profound Understanding of the Structure of Language

“I am not a linguist. It doesn’t come naturally to me, like it does to some people. I owe my considerable progress in learning to speak Spanish to Fabiana, with whom I have been taking regular lessons for over six years. Fabiana is a surpassing linguist, who combines uncanny intuition with a profound understanding of the structure of language. But more than this she is able to see the language from the viewpoint of her students, and to use this vision to make it so that the student has fun while learning. With Fabiana motivation is never a problem.”

A New Dimension in Communicating

“Talk-Active has provided me with a new dimension in communicating with my patients. Root canal treatment is a procedure which most people associate with anxiety and pain. I am able to reassure Spanish-speaking patients that the treatment is virtually pain-free and can usually be accomplished in a single visit. Hearing this information in a medium that they are familiar with is an invaluable aid in establishing a trusting and nurturing professional environment.”

Talk-Active Is My First Call

“Talk-Active has provided my film production company fast and effective translations from Italian, French and Spanish since 2003. For our documentary films Talk-Active creates concise, clear subtitles as well as voice-over scripts — often including the voice. For our radio broadcasts heard worldwide Talk-Active often does simultaneous translations. Talk-Active has also helped us create targeted translations — for example, in a project for engineers in Peru. Whenever I deal with a foreign language, Talk-Active is my first call, and it is my highest recommendation to others.”

Talk-Active Captures the Essence of the Document

“We have been working with Talk-Active for 10 years and are very satisfied with the translation service. Talk-Active takes the time to talk with you and understand your particular business requirements. Rather than taking a generic or literal approach to document translation, Talk-Active captures the context and essence of the document terminology and/or content which results in precise and high quality translations. We would highly recommend Talk-Active for translation services.”
