I must've told this story a thousand times, but I kind of learned English by chance. I was in high school, had loads of free time, so I decided to watch a bunch of comedy series with original audio and Portuguese subtitles. I got so used to the sound of the language that I learned without even knowing, then I realized I could understand most of what the characters were saying, not needing the subtitles. In order to practice my speaking skill, I used to record myself on my cellphone, I had no one to practice with, which is kind of lame, so I used to talk on the recordings about my routine and all. After all the talking, I listened to it, and tried to correct it. This is not the whole process, but it's kind of a summary. I started to work as a private teacher, did some proficiency exams, gained some experience.


Growing up as gamer in Brazil, I had no contact with games in Brazilian Portuguese, so it was hard to play at first. But then I'd make an effort and would start to translate most of the in-game text to be able to understand better.

As a translator, most of my experience followed my gaming life, but also subtitling and transcripting. I must mention my knowledge translating abstracts and articles from my hometown universities as well.

It's a work that truly fulfills my heart, I'm always glad I'm able to do it.
