Your videos are part of my Ramadan’s rituals now lol. A question, when should an interpreter tackle a certain domain? I know you’re a fan of the European language reference, but would C1 be sufficient to do the trick? Cheers mate 🌹👍

Great video, I can relate a lot because I've done a lot of the same things in Spain in 3 different cities... language assistant, academies, translating, flatmates, younger colleagues, working from home etc. I've just started learning Portuguese and might go to Lisbon for a while, it's one of my favourite cities in the world. A video on how to get into the football world would be good. I imagine it's the kind of industry where connections are important, but how did you get your first break?
