traduisons!

When taking on any new task, some guidance is always beneficial. Whilst translating my hobby into a profession, I was in definite need of having a mentor to guide me through the proper steps to take. I turned to Skillshare and found a course on Freelance Translation by Robert Gebhardt that significantly helped me lay some boundaries and groundwork for the proper way to start a business of my own. Having a basic understanding of an always-in-motion business realm was the best way for me to figure out how I fit in this nebulous world of translation. While translations have to be meticulous and logical, the industry demands its freelancers to be flexible and ready for anything. Striking the balance between the two is of utmost importance and requires a certain amount of self-control and discipline. Or that is my understanding of the profession at this point, I am certain my coming experience will change this point of view, underscoring the flexibility this profession requires. Flexibility, focus, freedom, French to English… I am beyond motivated with my past experience and future goals to continue this journey and achieve my dream of being a successful French to English translator.
