Hi, I'm Juliana from Brazil

[Juliana Melo]

Nice to meet you all! I'm a translator from Brazil (English-Port-English) and I really would like to exchange information, because sometimes I have doubts that drive me crazy!
Hope we can help each other

[Torsten]

Hi Juliana,

Welcome to our forum. What kind of texts do you translate? Yes, I'm sure we can help each other by exchanging information and experiences.
Regards,

Hi Aro,
I hope we can help each other. What do you study there in Poland?

[Aro]

English Filology, which mainly means studying English. What about you?

[Juliana Melo]

I've studied translation at university and now I study French and work as a translator. Do you know something about Brazil?

[Aro]

Yes - SAMBA, CARNIVAL & FOOTBALL! Hehe I used to have a good penpal from Brazil, coz I'm attracted to that region. OK, you got me - it's latino girls I'm attracted to I wish I could be there right now, I'm so tired of snow and temperatures around 0... :/

In some places there is practically no winter here, in the Northeast for example, it's 30º in July (winter here!). But not everybody here likes Samba, Carnival and Football here...there are other things about Brazil. The music is great! What about Poland, what's it like?

[Aro]

Erm... what do you mean? You know such a question can be answered in a 10-pages essay

Well... We're considered drunks, thieves, and... hard workers. How much of that is true is for others to judge. However, there are opinions, for example in Greece, that if you're a Pole you can do (meaning: achieve) everything.
We massively flee to UK and Ireland (mainly, but France, Italy and Germany as well) in order to find a crappy job for a good pay and we very often succeed.
If there's anything Polish people could be proud of - that's our food! However, unfortunately, because of the stupid EU regulations, we have to adjust to some "norms", which means - either export less (only the "approved" products) or have our products genetically modified. Either way - we lose.
We're big sports fans, especially football (for you Aussies and Americans - soccer), but we tend to be proud whenever our national temas in other sports are successfull - especially when it comes to volleyball and ski jumping.

That's the most random things that come to my mind right now If you want to know more, like something in particular, feel free to ask!
