Checked in NICOLAE CIPRIAN BERCHISAN Beware!Language=passion,translation=art. Italie Native in anglais (Variant: US) , roumain (Variant: Romania)  Freelancer Bio: It's hard to put into words all the reasons why I want to be a teacher and a translator. Some days when I take time to ponder the immensity that the role of a teacher involves I feel overwhelmed. Other days I find myself just dying for my chance to "get out there" and t...ouch someone else’s life. It's hard to describe, but something inside of me tells me that even if it's not going to be easy, this is what I am meant to do for the rest of my life. I want to live a life of service to others, especially children or foreign students who do not speak this beautiful language. I want to nurture them and be the person that lifts them up, the same person that gives them the opportunity to go all over the world and to be able to make themselves understood. I want them to feel like they could fly if they put their mind to it. I want to show them the beauty, power and courage inside them, even if they don't always see it in themselves. I want my classroom to be an exciting adventure land but also a safe haven all at once. I want children to leave my class with more confidence, compassion, and enthusiasm for life and learning than they entered it. I will teach them the skills they need to know to succeed academically, and the skills they will need to love themselves and others. Perhaps I will only plant seeds that I may never personally see blossom, but I will never give up. As a teacher I will have great power to change lives. This power will be humbling, exhilarating, overwhelming, frightening, but exceedingly worthwhile. I know that it takes all kinds of backgrounds, cultures, skills and people to be teachers, and of course a teacher and a translator should have a teaching qualification and a diploma in translation, but even without this qualification I know that I have the ability to relate effectively to students of diverse cultural backgrounds and to tailor teaching methods to suit their individual needs and to deliver professional and straightforward translations. I have the ability and the passion to stand in front of groups of children or adults and present class materials and tutorials. I enjoy and I have the necessary experience of working under pressure to meet targets, and I can easily handle challenging environments. I have excellent planning and organizational skills and the ability to put together lesson plans and to prepare required materials for classes of different skills and year groups. I am the kind of teacher who is always willing to go that extra mile for the school I work for on a holistic basis. I attended intonation and acting courses a few years ago (Actors Studio L.A., USA) and I believe there is no obstacle that could stand in my way when it comes to teaching and or translating. I enjoy school life and I love to take on extra responsibilities when requested by the school/author/publishing house/translation agency. I am able to provide a professional stimulating learning environment in which students can develop to their full potential. I am able to employ wide-ranging instructional techniques to retain students’ interest and to maximize individual learning within a group environment. I have a natural talent for involving and motivating students of all ability levels. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills and I have the ability to convey subject material in an accessible and compelling manner. I have highly developed computer skills, with in-depth experience of utilizing technology in the classroom to maximize the learning experience. I have strong leadership qualities and the ability to manage challenging behavior calmly and effectively. I have a genuine interest in and respect for people of all ages. I am a highly organized person, motivated both by new challenges and by every new step the students make in their learning process. I have one-to-one student teaching experience and I particularly enjoyed working with “problematic” children as it helped me to learn how to carefully prepare my lessons. In the last eleven years, while working as a private teacher in Rome, I taught English to elementary, middle, and secondary school students and also to adults having different cultural background, social level, and jobs. Managing the difference of abilities among my students proved to be a difficult, but satisfying challenge. I tailored activities to maintain the interest of high-level students without intimidating less skilled English speakers when I had the chance to work with small groups. I believe that my main strong point is that I have a great experience of teaching to different age groups of students, right from elementary school to adult students. Maybe this is the reason why my instructional techniques have enhanced radically lately. Being a dedicated and compassionate teacher, I can understand and listen to their needs, unique interests as well as solve their difficulties. I can easily assist the ESL/EFL students to improve their learning methods. Additionally, I can even incorporate linguistics, phonetics, intonation, literature, and other supplementary workshops in order to enable better comprehension and retention of their concepts and language. I can effectively comprehend and stimulate the lessons as per students' learning adaptability and this will be a positive contribution to your school. I am ready to accept the challenge of becoming a teacher and/or translator in your school/publishing house/translation agency etc. with my arms, mind and heart wide open. As a wise man said a long time ago “language is passion” and my desire to become the best teacher and a translator I can be is my greatest passion. My best regards to all of you. Citazioni preferite: "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts." William Strunk, Jr. “The heart should be cultivated with more assiduity than the head.” ― Noah Webster “Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground” Noah Webster Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation. Noam Chomsky From now on I will consider a language to be a set (finite or infinite) of sentences, each finite in length and constructed out of a finite set of elements. All natural languages in their spoken or written form are languages in this sense. Noam Chomsky (b. 1928), U.S. linguist, philosopher. Syntactic Structures, p. 13, Mouton (1971). Translators have to prove to themselves as to others that they are in control of what they do; that they do not just translate well because they have a “flair” for translation, but rather because, like other professionals, they have made a conscious effort to understand various aspects of their work. Mona Baker Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire. Roland Barthes Language is an art, like brewing or baking.... It certainly is not a true instinct, for every language has to be learnt. Charles Darwin The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one's own style and creatively adjust this to one's author. Paul Goodman Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools. Thomas Hobbs A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it. Victor Hugo A translation can never equal the original; it can approach it, and its quality can only be judged as to accuracy by how close it gets. Gregory Rabassa The translator's task is much harder than that of the original author. Theodore Savory It is the man that determines what is said, not the words. Henry David Thoreau More Less Message: "Knowledge is power."

Checked in Laura Garcia Mesa Effective communication Argentine Native in espagnol  Freelancer Bio: Ever since she can recall, Maria Laura, a native of Argentina, has had a passion for languages, travel, cultures and communication. As a child Maria Laura attended a bilingual school in the city of Buenos Aires where the family lived and at the age of 18 spent a year st...udying in Denmark. While still at university she began her professional career at a private English School in Mar del Plata, Argentina. In 2008 Maria Laura finished her specialization as a medical interpreter and although she enjoyed every project she took part in, it was in the medical field where she felt her service-oriented personality and her belief that communication is a tool to make substantial changes in the life of others came together. It did not take long for clients to recognize Maria Laura´s abilities to deliver simple and effective solutions for their communications needs, and they started asking her to coordinate translation projects into other languages. That was the beginning of SIT -Solutions In Translation. Maria Laura’s 15 years of experience in the language industry, communication, travel and the medical field meet at Solutionsintranslation.com bring linguistic solutions for the stakeholders in the Medical Tourism and Travel sector.
