What made you decide to become a translator or interpreter?
Once I was writing my project as a student, I needed to use encylopedias which were written in English during which i suffer not knowing any words. I had to use and open dictionary twenty times for each page. Any way, when I finished the work and delivered it to my professor he asked me a question that I couldnt answer. It was a simple question ''what is the meaning of the word INTRODUCTION?''. I couldnt answer it so was embarrased. I decided to start studying English as a second field.
