Native Speaker Credential Nov 22, 2004

Is there any way that those of us who have 2 declared mothertongues could have these verified at the Oxford conference? This service has been “coming soon” for as long as I can remember and I think that this is the best opportunity we will ever have to set up a mothertongue testing session.

The languages I would personally like to have checked are English and French.

Thanks for considering this request.

Native Speaker Credential: verfication procedure Nov 22, 2004

“ […] members who report multiple native languages will in the future be asked to demonstrate their native speech in each language before other native speakers of those languages. Until this has been accomplished, a black and gray icon will be associated with the unconfirmed native languages. […] In the case of those declaring multiple native languages, the speech will be deemed native if several other ProZ.com Native Speakers find it to be native (according to their own definitions.)”...

Sounds like this ought to be feasible.

Native speaker creds - verification Nov 23, 2004

Ditto, if only to see how much of my inspecteur Clouzeau accent is left after 13 years in Ol' Blighty

We can still receive about 15-20 more participants on the day, Saturday or Sunday only, or for both days, but a previous official registration would be much more convenient for all organization tasks.

If you are not coming, please remove your name from the Powwow page.

So sorry ! Nov 24, 2004

Hi dear colleagues !
So sorry to inform you that, unfortunately, I will not be in a position to attend the Oxford meeting.
As a matter of fact, I received a business proposition from one of my best customer (in the interpretation field) that I cannot refuse.

Maybe next year in USA !

Kind regards

Thierry LOTTE

I was counting words left to do and days left to go in the hope that I could finally manage but I see I can't travel before Saturday afternoon.

New in this world Nov 24, 2004

I´m Spanish, (at the moment living in the wonderful Bay of Cadiz), I´ve been an English Teacher all my life (for 17 years in fact), but because of a problem with my voice, I´ve been thinking of entering this still unknown world of translation. I hope I am not too lost at the Conference. I also hope to meet lots of interesting people, specially someone who can tell me how to get started.By the way, is anybody staying at the Backpackers Hostel? I´d like to contact you!!!

Hi Charo

My name is Reyes (as you've probably gathered, I'm Spanish!) and I've been living in England for almost seven years. I've been a translator and interpreter for the last three years and I will be happy to share my experience with you this weekend.

See you at the conference. I look forward to meeting you.

Regards

Reyes

PS: Cadiz bay...You live in a wonderful part of the world!

Backpacker's Hostel Nov 25, 2004

Hi Charo,

I'm an English translator, and am just preparing to go freelance, so we can swap tips. I'm in the backpacker's hostel from Friday night - look forward to seeing you!

Stefan
