| Native Speaker Credential | Nov 22, 2004 |
Is there any way that those of us who have 2 declared mothertongues could have these verified at the Oxford conference? This service has been “coming soon” for as long as I can remember and I think that this is the best opportunity we will ever have to set up a mothertongue testing session.
The languages I would personally like to have checked are English and French.
Thanks for considering this request.

| Native Speaker Credential: verfication procedure | Nov 22, 2004 |
“ […] members who report multiple native languages will in the future be asked to demonstrate their native speech in each language before other native speakers of those languages. Until this has been accomplished, a black and gray icon will be associated with the unconfirmed native languages. […] In the case of those declaring multiple native languages, the speech will be deemed native if several other ProZ.com Native Speakers find it to be native (according to their own definitions.)”...

Sounds like this ought to be feasible. ▲ Collapse

Ditto, if only to see how much of my inspecteur Clouzeau accent is left after 13 years in Ol' Blighty

| How to remove one's name? | Nov 24, 2004 |
Hi, everyone:
I would like to remove my name from this list, as I can't attend this pow-wow. I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Thanks for you help in advance.

Hi dear colleagues !
So sorry to inform you that, unfortunately, I will not be in a position to attend the Oxford meeting.
As a matter of fact, I received a business proposition from one of my best customer (in the interpretation field) that I cannot refuse.
Maybe next year in USA !
Kind regards
Thierry LOTTE

| Won't be able to do it | Nov 24, 2004 |
I was counting words left to do and days left to go in the hope that I could finally manage but I see I can't travel before Saturday afternoon.
I hope you all enjoy the meeting and report on it!

I´m Spanish, (at the moment living in the wonderful Bay of Cadiz), I´ve been an English Teacher all my life (for 17 years in fact), but because of a problem with my voice, I´ve been thinking of entering this still unknown world of translation. I hope I am not too lost at the Conference. I also hope to meet lots of interesting people, specially someone who can tell me how to get started.By the way, is anybody staying at the Backpackers Hostel? I´d like to contact you!!!

See you at the conference. I look forward to meeting you.
Regards
Reyes
PS: Cadiz bay...You live in a wonderful part of the world!

Hi Charo,
I'm an English translator, and am just preparing to go freelance, so we can swap tips. I'm in the backpacker's hostel from Friday night - look forward to seeing you!
