Hello from Poland, I hope to become a translator...

[Twin]

Hello!

I have been studying English for some 10 years now and probably I will have to brush it up for the next 10 years.
I treat it as a hobby and derive great pleasure from learning new words :-)

In the future I hope to become a translator or an interpreter. I am eager to get to know other (would-be) translators/interpreters.

I know a smattering of German too, so German-speaking people are all welcome to send me a message if they want to.

If I make a mistake and someone notices it, I will take no offence at being told about them.

Hi Twin

Glad to see you here!
I am not a linguist, but I like people who are really passionate about language(s) (not just passing tests).
Who keep them alive, fine and healthy, day by day.

I am Russian, now residing in the UK. My English is faaaar from perfect, but I do my best to help it (him :) ) to get better. Growing up. :)

Hi, Twin!
Yes, being an interpreter( I mean not a translator :D ) is very difficult and responsible job. You must work hard to achieve success. It may takes years of hard learning. In the future I want to become an interpreter. What I do for achieving my goal? Well, I read a great many of books dealing with the way of translation, make written translations in order to exercise my skills. But what do you do?

As for my experience in translating from English into polish, I have translated subtitles for 2 films that were shown during a film festival. It was a small festival, but still that's practice, isn't it?

My focus now is on gaining new translation skills and developing old ones. I know that practice enriches my knowledge, but I also believe that I should not neglect my education. I am still a student:-)
