Whenever I'm plugging away at a difficult translation project, I think of the words of a good friend of mine when he spent some time watching me work on a translation project: "Wait, so you do homework all day?!" 😂

YOURSELF instead of YOU is one of my pet hates.
I've just spoken to someone who used it in every other sentence 😱
"Let me just check that out for yourself" (YOU!)
"I can arrange for that to be remade for yourself" (YOU!)
"I'll keep an eye on that for yourself" (YOU!)
GAH!

Why learn an ancient #language if no one speaks it anymore?
Ancient languages can help you improve your mental skills, learn more about ancient cultures, and explore the roots of language!

It's a joy to see this FB post from my former pupil @AnglicusTrans.
Mel's story reveals the value of language learning, not just for the career doors that it opens, but also for the way it fosters a broad-minded, and inclusive mindset. 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

To my colleagues who sometimes ask me for pointers on how to end an email to a French client, and wonder what the h**l "bien à vous" is all about, here's a visual guide.

Hi Robert. As a professional, qualified translator from French into English, with 30+ years of professional experience, please believe me when I explain that @jeanCastex letter does NOT actually say that UK should be punished for laving the EU, as you claim.

September! Seasons of mists! Back to school! Makes me think of my A-level German classes. Mr Molyneux made German grammar hilarious (which it kind of is). Where did your love of German come from? #xl8 #1nt #german #fallibroome #teachers

This #pricing clinic looks set to be popular with @NWTN_UK members - it’s hard to set our rates in an unregulated profession as it’s up to us to keep them at a decent level 🤔 How do you do that without losing clients? Sounds like a fiver well spent to find out! 👇🏽 – at Salford, England

I'm researching how CPD for translators is changing or likely to change as a result of the pandemic.
I'd be grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to fill in this survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Thanks and please RT/share with your professional networks! #xl8

✨English to French translators of Twitter✨ A friend who works for Médecins Sans Frontières was wondering if I knew anyone who’d be interested in translating a 9000-word ebook at the earliest possible opportunity? Please share and message me for more details!
