Order Translation

Profile

Hola, I'm Marisa

I'm a native Spanish and Catalan speaker, languages woke up my curiosity since I was very young and here in Menorca (Balearic Islands) we have a great opportunity to learn other languages because of the tourism and the lovely foreigns that have decide that this place is the paradise that they were looking for. I learned English being very young due to the enjoyable company of english people here, and I stayed abroad for 9 months between Dublin and Brighton.

I'm a translator from English to Spanish and also an Spanish teacher for foreign people. I learnt French and some German, Portuguese and Italian too, but my strength is from English to Spanish. I've done a lot of courses on English literature and teach English Narrative courses in the Maó's Ateneu and the British Community here. I've been teaching Joyce's 'Ulysses', Faulkner's 'The Sound and the Fury', and Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway' and more great masters of the English literature.

My knowledge is very wide on also Social Sciences, I have a degree in Sociology, so I can deal easily with translations from Anthropology, Social Psychology, Sociology, Politic Sciences, and Psychology too.

I'm very committed and on time delivery person. I hope we can work together soon.

Where I live

Did you know that in Menorca we were living under the British flag so many years and we are proud of their legacy here? And within our Catalan's dialect we use some words directly from the English language as 'marvels' and 'bottle' but with a different accent?

We lived also under the French flag, and that known as 'mayonesa' is actually called 'mahonesa' and was invented by a French cooker living here in the island. We do it, by ourselves, in familiar lunch and dinner meetings.
