@FluentMundo @HexPositive Nathy Peluso is another example! But I guess my interpretation was “Salsa is dead” which is obviously far from the truth. Maybe I was just seeing everything through a filter of why are two white dudes interviewing Bad Bunny in English lol

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@FluentMundo @HexPositive When one of them says, “Did you feel there were Puerto Rican sounds that were ripe for modernizing? Like, salsa hasn’t been brought into the future” lmao. Hopefully they hire someone who has an ounce of context next time 🙈 Your interview in 2020 was so much richer.

@RguezDeusPili And how was the translation? 😬

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@FluentMundo I hired @jacksonsusie to create a custom Excel for me that tracked every single detail I needed/wanted to track for my business. It made everything, including taxes, so much smoother. And it was actually pleasant to use. (Past tense only because I’m no longer freelancing!)

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@sahorcas Could it also have to do with a general drop in interest in investing in higher ed, esp. combined w/ the low barrier to entry for T&I practitioners, who realistically don’t need a degree? I realize the barrier may change with advances in AI, and this could affect all professions.

@ProfKarolSikora Grammar correction in brackets for accuracy/clarity: “Evidence behind their use is questionable at best, even [more] so when people wear flimsy and filthy bits of cloth - often not properly.”

@metro_madrid @CVBPatry ¿Desde Avda. de América en sentido Pitis sí circulan?

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@translator_terp I’m registered too! Looking forward to it and coinciding with you virtually ☺️

Update: I'm silly and forgot to record points from #ATA62, which now puts me at 25. But now that I got the idea of Miami in my head...

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

Just realized my ATA certification renewal is due in less than a year and I have a sizable gap before reaching my 20 points. Any continuing education recommendations? 🙃 Also, maybe see you at #ATA64?! @vero_demi @mszampaulo

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@TimG_translator The Spaniards have great digestion.

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@RSchiaffino @vero_demi @mszampaulo 😂 I’m working on it little by little!

@OSingier @vero_demi @mszampaulo Very exciting!

@OSingier @vero_demi @mszampaulo Oh, thank you, Olivia! I'm seeing more affordable options on American and Iberia from Madrid for now, but I'll keep French Bee in mind if prices go up! Good insider tip. 🙏 Are you planning to attend?

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo I'm already too excited to scratch the idea! 😉 Might even brainstorm a potential proposal. Thanks, Karen!

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@vero_demi @mszampaulo Thank you, Veronika! You’re the best. Great idea to sift through existing webinars. I’ll keep an eye out for announcements of new ones, too!

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo But now that you mention it, Karen, I was able to scrounge up 13 points from articles, editing, and presentations I've done over the last couple of years! Thanks for pushing me to think of those 🥰

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

@ChemXlator @vero_demi @mszampaulo Yes, there are other ways to earn points! I just feel more like continuing ed these days. 😊

[Emily Safrin @saffrontrans]

P.S. I live in Spain, so online events are best.
