Welcome!

The ups and downs of a starting translator, that's what this blog will be about! This blog is about my personal ups and downs and doubts and happiness! I have started my translation business in juin of 2007, i. e. three months ago. And I can tell you, I passed three months of excitement!

Positive and negative excitement and lots of nights without sleep!

Can you imagine? I have never worked in a translation agency, I worked in a Marketing Service, yes, I worked as a translator for a kids shop and on voluntary basis. And comparing to my collegues in the private university where I did my translation course, I felt quite "ahead" concerning translation experience...

All of my former collegues have stopped their carreer as a translator, even one who was able to pass State examinations! So, I am all alone in the World Wide Web, in this community of wild animals!

But I want to succeed as a translator. It was always my dream and I love it. I love words, I love to find the right expression matching context and language level. I like to communicate with people by writing. I like to search the Internet. I am eager to learn.

I am a certified translator, certified by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry where 90 % of the candidates failed. At least that's what everybody talks about during the breaks...*

And still, it is not easy!!!

Come and follow me on my way to the TOP! (I hope?!)
