I am a plurilingual person born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic, but living since 1997 in Spain, mostly Barcelona. My family in Prague is both Czech and Hungarian, so I got used to living and switching between two very different languages since my early childhood. Currently my "daily" switching is among Czech, Spanish and Catalan, but I work with Hungarian and English as well.

Translating and interpreting is part of my life, of my way of being. I love that feeling I am able to connect a person with an idea, which would be unaccesible due to language differences. And I love learning about new areas, topics, issues, ideas, people, knowledges and a long etc., which come with every challenging job.

I am a mother of FOUR daughters and I insist on stating this as a professional information, because it is one. I am not always online and I am not all the time available. Don't zeroize me because of that, I am still a good professional, children are very good teachers in a lot of areas. Just bear it in mind and CALL ME BY PHONE, don't hesitate!

As for translation, I work mostly on larger or long-term projects. I find challenging any topic that somehow makes me understand a bit more about our lives, our world, our civilization and so on. I always try hard to find the exact terminology, the correct expressions and the final text to be read easily.

While interpreting, I of course pay attention to the transmission of the meaning and the speaker's intention, but I seek as well the best way to express it. I believe the speech that the final client listens to must be not only technicaly exact, but also nice. It must be a language, not only an excerpt of the speaker's ideas. Before the job, I spend a time learning about the client's expertise, preparing terminology tables and trying to imagine the flow of the ideas to come, and all that helps me to feel me more comfortable with new and previously untouched situations, topics and of course people.

As for my professional future, I hope as my kids grow older, I'll be able to concentrate on interpretation and translating books. I know there's and amount of them waiting for me. And I am pretty sure, Czech readers will like them.
