My Favorite Things
Books, tools, and other things that I use
on my adventures as a translator and interpreter.
¡Hola!
Sometimes, the right tool can make our life easier, save us time, and help us be more productive translators and interpreters. That is why, just like Oprah during Thanksgiving, I am sharing a list of my favorite things!
I have divided my list in areas so books, tools, and other items that make my life easier are easier to find. Also, I have only included things I have personally used or read and loved or that are highly recommended by dear colleagues.
If you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to contact me at info@blueurpi.com
Wishing you productivity,
Gloria
