Better late than never!
When I was a schoolgirl, I luckily had a wonderful English teacher. She was the kind of teacher who never screams, speaks politely, but has such authority that it’s quiet in the class and all have prepared for the lessons (naturally, our boys didn’t like Mondays because every weekend they had been doing their English homework).
She lived for several years in London and taught us how to speak. The teacher had told us that speaking is the most important skill if you want to survive abroad.
Apparently, she was very surprised when I didn’t go to study languages. In fact, I liked her lessons very much, but I never wanted to be a teacher. Unfortunately, I thought neither about the career of a translator nor about opportunities that might give me knowledge of the languages.
Many years have passed, and now I think that it was my biggest mistake in life.
But never say never!
So, two years ago, I eventually retired and started to prepare for exams.
It was a long way, but finally, I’m here and trying my best to study. Occasionally, it can be physically painful for me, yet it is nonetheless interesting.
This saying “better late than never” will become a real truth after my first salary as a translator.
