Translation has made me a stronger Spanish speaker, and even a stronger English speaker, as through the semester I have had to delicately balance my knowledge of both languages in order to create translations for two incredible community organizations: Mosqoy<\/a> and Rat\u00f3n de Biblioteca<\/a>. Working with these groups has been an absolute pleasure, as my understanding has broadened about different organizations in varying parts of Latin America that do so much good for the members of their communities. It is a unique experience to be able to use translation skills in order to help these fantastic organizations with reaching more people within the communities that they are operating in, and being part of that is extremely heartwarming.<\/p>\n Although I still have a long way to go with refining my translation skills, I have appreciated this class immensely, and I look forward to different translation projects in the future!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A picture of me at a lake in Whistler!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
