inWhatLanguage is, once again, proud to
welcome a new recruit to its ever growing family: Veronica, our new Project
Manager!
As a Spanish speaker myself, I am
especially happy to have a kindred spirit in the team: another original Spanish
speaker who came in contact with English at an early point in her life and… It
just stuck with her forever. I mean, the languages of Shakespeare and
Cervantes; of Justin Bieber and Shakira. Who could resist?
While she is from Peru and I am from Spain,
and we have different terms for things like a cell phone (móvil/celular) or a
computer (ordenador/computadora), we share this especial duality that allows us
to understand that strange new language, creator of the most terrible jokes I
have ever read: Spanglish.
You wanna read an example? Really? Okay,
but you were warned…
What did the chair say when leaving? Silla!
…
(… That would stand for ‘see ya’, by the
way…)
…
Anyway, before you all go running away in
horror, let us know a little more about our new Project Manager, directly from
her keyboard to your screens.
"A little bit about me. I’m originally
from Arequipa, Peru, but I’ve been in the U.S.A. for almost 15 years and I
currently live in Pleasant Grove, Utah. I have a wonderful family (my husband
and 3 kids) and we always try to enjoy every moment of the day!
Fifteen years ago I went to Brigham Young
University to learn English, and I had the best English teachers, although I
learned more from watching TV and interacting with people. After some years I got a job as a Desktop
Publisher and was able to work with many languages, sometimes more than 20.
I learned a lot about other languages and how
they are written, especially when it comes to punctuation. While working as a
Desktop Publisher, I also went to school for a Graphic Arts degree. I got my degree and started working as a
freelancer for graphic design and desktop publishing; that’s how I met Cody.
A friend of Cody’s referred me to him as a
Desktop Publisher, Cody asked me if I wanted to be a Project Manager at
inWhatLanguage, and I said yes.
I’ve been working here for over a week now,
and I really like it. It can be challenging at times, but I learn new things
every day and that’s is very rewarding.
I’m very excited and thankful to be part of
the team of inWhatLanguage!"
