Ep. 20 - The Writing and Translating Process

19/8/2018

0 Comments

 
How do professional writers and translators write their text? How do they translate their work into English? In this episode, we talk with Isabel again, and I ask her about her creative process. She takes us through her process of finding clients and how she approaches writing a text copy in Spanish and English. We also play a fun word association game at the end. 

As always, after the interview we have a lesson explaining some of the key words and vocabulary that you will have heard in context as well as answers to the questions below. Take the quiz below as your listening and see how many you can answer.
