TRANSLATOR AND INTERPRETER

Text typology

I hold the posgraduate Diploma of Advanced Studies in translation and interpretation, program of  Translation & Paratranslation, at the University of Vigo. I'm going to start my doctoral thesis, at the same university.

Xunta de Galicia (Galician regional government) granted me the title of sworn translator French-Galician- French.

I have just finished, the sixth, and last, course in the Alliance Française of Vigo,and am now continuing with a special course to get C1 level of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. At the same time I am doing Français des Affaires first level (Business and professional French exam for the Chambre de commerce et d'Industrie de Paris). In the future, I plan to go to Paris to get the DHEF (Diplôme de Hautes Études Françaises- Advanced level which requires near- native speaker level) and attend a French for Law course.

I hold the DELF diploma, level B2,  (Diplôme d'Études de Langue Française) from the French Ministry of Education. Now, I'm doing a special course to prepare DALF exam (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) also from by the French Ministry of Education.
