If translation work drops? Jan 1

it has been dropping noticeably these last years! Anyway, I will not move into any new field! I’m at the very end of my career and financially I don’t depend on what I make from freelancing, but I do want to keep my mind busy. I have been through other crisis in my lifetime and survived. So, I’ll keep calm and carry on…

May 2026 bring us all many amazing things and lots of work!

Teaching Jan 1

I have already been teaching since September 2025 and I love it, but I wish I wouldn't have to do this full time because it's draining your energy. I truly admire teachers.

Teaching, voice-overing or subtitling. Jan 1

To be honest, my main job has always been working as a language teacher. So, I do want to get more translation and interpreting opportunities. If I do not get any, I could explore voice-overing or subtitling opportunities. But, I try to be optimistic and find translation opportunities out there.

Art Jan 3

I specialised in EU studies and then Art but never got any translation jobs in art unfortunately and I would love to devote more time and energy to art. I draw and paint and go to lessons and have MA in art but it's just not enough. I cannot say I know it all and would love to work at a museum or art gallery for first-hand experience.
