very poignant, got me sniffling there - thanks

[chatona]

I hope those are good sniffles ♥

[ferneberga]

very much so, sniffles as in soppy sappy sniffles when you read a Mills & Boone Romance, all sugary and spice and all things nice - coz this for Gibbs is that and yet so very gothic at his worry/concern/jealousy when others seem to get too close to the love of his life - and well maybe I'm reading more into what you wrote than you actually wrote, and I'm doing an imitation Abby with this babbly-rambling way I'm explaining things....

[chatona]

Heeeey, there's nothing wrong at all with rambling and babbling (I am rather prone to those two as well sometimes, ladida) and oh, romance-induced sniffles are indeed the good kind :D

[ferneberga]

gracias guapísima - erm thank you, confusing my languages now ¡duh!

[chatona]

Spanish is one of the many languages I don't speak and only very vaguely understand.

[ferneberga]

ooops!! good job I didn't go into Basque :-) I'm only bilingual (Spanish/English) despite doing French at school. However, I'm now endeavouring to learn Basque -I'll get there eventually

[chatona]

Heh, yes, lucky me. I speak English and German fluently, my Dutch is pretty good, my French and my Italian are rusty... Spanish I only understand when it's written and only because the words are often similar to Italian and Latin. Else I'd be entirely lost.

[ferneberga]

German I only know a few greetings cos a girl at junior school had a German mother, so we were all the time "how do you say..?"
Basque grammar is like Latin/German grammar - terribly difficult when English is your first language :-)

[chatona]

Hm. German is my first language and I did have six years of Latin in school. Maybe I should have a look at Basque :D

[ferneberga]

I'm sure you'd find it easier than me, because to cap it all I didn't even do Latin at school, perhaps if I had I wouldn't have the difficulties I do, although being a translator does mean that at least my mind is more open to language learning

[chatona]

Oh, what kind of translations do you do?

[ferneberga]

I specialise in medical and engineering although like all freelance translators I tackle most subjects - got to pay the bills :-)

[chatona]

Medical is interesting. I get to do that sometimes, very improfessionally, for my mother or my boyfriend. Because I'm better at English than my mum and better at German and English than the BF.

[ferneberga]

I do Spanish to English only, well occasionally English to Spanish, but it's always better to translate into your mother tongue than out of it. Perhaps you should take it up as a profession, although interpreting is more profitable than translating, but you need a cool head for that, I don't mind ad hoc, but conference interpreting is a definite no-no for me

[chatona]

Ah, I thought about it, but then I would go crazy having to translate other peoples' words without being allowed to throw my two cents in for good measure. So now I'm studying law.
