Bio
I had work all my life, always connected to foreign languages like English, French and Spanish. Everything I know I learned in my years of high school, college, specialist schools and private tutors. Excellent teachers in my initial studies gave me the necessary foundation of these languages. That is, I know it by the practical side, reading books in all these languages. I have read the dozens, always with good and practical dictionaries at my side. What I propose to do now after beeing an engineer and public/business man is to develop the skills I have in this area. Learn about new cultures and other peoples. With knowledge of my native language, also based on my studies in my entire life, I've learned that before translating, it is necessary to interpret what the author wants to mean what I consider most important of all. From my side, beyond knowledge of language, I put in my services not only the translation itself, but also years of professional and personal life experience carried out in technical fields, business, social and culture in general. This is my will, to represent in the Portuguese language, all understanding sought by my contractors. In addition, there is concern over punctuality.Once defined the period within which the client wishes his work in his hands, he surely will have, in a clear and precise language.
