I am a 22 year old Uruguyan living in Montevideo. I am an advanced student of english to Spanish translations and an experienced English teacher as well. I have been working as a teacher for 5 years now and I got my diploma 3 years and a half ago. I am also in my third year in University and one year away to completing my university degree in Translations. Some of the subjects I took are linguistics, law, Spanish grammar, English and theory and methdology of translations. I am currently taking Enlgish, Foreing Lanugage Culture and Literature, Law and Proffessional Practice. I have translated several texts, from legal to articles about general interest, throughout the last three years. Previous to taking the entrance exam to university, I took the CPE (Certificate in Proficiency ENglish).

I love reading, novels particularily but I also read articles in webpages or newspapers. I love watching all kind of movies and sitcoms, except series. I guess my passion is understanding language.

Never forget what is it that you really want in life, never lose perspective. And more importantly, make sure to decide what are you willing to do to get what can make you happy. Life is full of people telling you to do million of things simultaneusly, pressing you for time, making demands, critisicing your work. I sometimes feel I get to stressed out because of what I think people are asking from me. I think that taking your time to do things, breathing in and out, letting yourself enjoy life instead of becoming a machine that produces work and more work, is an idea worth spreading. Being happy the way each one of us choses to be happy is an idea worth spreading. Let us never forget that we have a right to make mistakes, to learn how to do things, and that we can be happy and relaxed while learning, while working. Life is much more than that, so lets avoid becoming one floating mind with a body that nobody cares about anymore. Lets pay attention and look after oursleves.

speaking (in both lanugages). I am sometimes too shy to prove my true skills. I get nervous and prefer to remain silent. But I have to confess, I am not bad at speaking up and at public speaking.
