[quote=APAULT,36150]I guess the biggest difficulty is that good translation demands a knowledge of the cultures of both languages. That can be very difficult when you are not very exposed to those cultures. In China you still don't have much modern western material, and for most people travel overseas is just too expensive. Interpreting in real time is a highly skilled job which requires that you somehow understand even when you don't know all the words and phrases. I recommend finding a specialist area, maybe finance, engineering, architecture, medicine, manufacturing so that you have some specialist skills different from others. How? Probably that means first finding a job (yes, I know that is not easy) where using your English skills is part of your job, then learn the specialist language while you are there. Just as you need to understand the culture related to a foreign language, you will also need to understand the specialist area. [/quote]
