Less than 1 minute, my friend!
My brief story Cause life is such a great thingy!
From my childhood I have always had a particular passion for language learning. Even though when 18 years old I decided to study architecture, great idea at the time. But, pretty soon after and ever since, Spain has a big crisis in this sector which made me quit and start working as a waiter. Spain has a strong tourism industry so anyone who knows english has serious chances to have a job. I could work in “La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias” (Valencia). In this place I had to speak in english everyday and I could learn French and Italian also at conversational levels. After several years working in this last job, I have quit it too to start business in the language learning and translation world. I have just taken the IELTS certificate (I have a C1) and I am still preparing to retake it and also to try to have some luck with French and Italian.
Right now, I am working to polish my language skills in forums in the net and trying to start business in the translation and language teaching. I participate in great sites like Linqapp and English Language & Use to improve myself through discussions about languages’ nuances.
Hey Talaya! Welcome to The Open Mic! I hope you’ll have a fantastic time here! How do you find everything so far? Is there anything that could be improved?
Congrats Talaya!
La vida es para los que estudian.
No hay fin a eso.
Sigue tu camino y sea feliz!
