“If you really
want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don’t, you will find an excuse”
El viernes 13 no fue el día de
mala suerte para la clase pues nuestra invitada invitada, Miryam Fernández , traductora jurada y
empresaria , introdujo a nuestro alumnado en el mundo de la interpretación
y la traducción con una animada clase interactiva. Queremos recoger en este
blog nuestro agradecimiento a Myriam y compartir la opinión de varias alumnas que
muestran el resultado del interés de este tipo de actividades en el aula :
motivar a nuestro alumnado, conectar el aprendizaje en el aula con el mundo
real, mostrarles la importancia que tiene aprender un idioma para su futuro,
aprender sobre las diferencias de las culturas a través del idioma , mostrar ejemplos
de mujeres emprendedoras .
¡Gracias Myriam !
SWORN
TRANSLATION
On February
13th we had a talk by Miryam Fernández, a businesswoman and a sworn translator,
who explained what her job is about and shared her experiences with us.
She told us many interesting things about
the different types of translation, the kind she is specialised in and the
different ways that translation and interpretation are present in our lives,
even though we don´t always realise about it.
Regarding her personal experience she said
that she has had both, funny and frightening moments during her career, but she
loves her job and knows that bad moments are part of life too.
We have had a perfect hour, laughing and
learning new things.

….. She
also told us stories about her experiences in her work , like interferences in the headphones
with a taxi company ,or a very scary story about a mafia criminal that gave her
a death threat if she said what she had heard.
I
really enjoyed that talk and now I am thinking seriously about being a
professional translator . I remember something she said and I liked the most :
“If
you want to do it, you will find a way, if you don’t want to do it, you will
find an excuse “
