This is so cool! I’ve been wanting to become an English/Spanish interpreter and translator, so this was so inspiring!
Glad you find it helpful!!❤️❤️
That’s what I’m currently workin on as well🎉
your voice is so beautiful...
Wow thank you .. 🥺♥️♥️
I was going to say that too, it's so calming
I am in college and I speak French, English and Swahili fluently and i would love to be a translator and my own girlboss 😍 you inspire me so much 😍😍 Please give more tips and make a series about being a freelancer 😍❤
Wow you are so talented !!! 🙊👍🏻 Then you should definitely go work as a freelancer!! I’ll keep that in mind Thank youuu😘😘!!!
@@ceceblooms8666 Bravo! Travailler à son compte demande beaucoup d'auto-discipline et d'organisation mais ça en vaut vraiment la peine! 😊
@@IzzyOnTheMove merci bcp bisous
Very cool dear 💝
@@hellojennie_english how many 🤔languages can you speak fluently and not (unfluently but can speak).
Hiii!!! Thanks for sharing! I'm a Spanish/English Interpreter & I watch A LOT of TH-cam videos on Interpretation/Translation. I really enjoyed this video and found it to be helpful and insightful. ANDDDD I'm happy to FINALLY see a woman on these kind of videos!!! Congratulations and may you enjoy many blessings of joy, success, abundance and prosperity : )
Hi, I've been wanting to find a job as an interpreter too. Do you have any advice you could give? I don't have previous work experience
Hello i am in the last year in collage and I want to become translation is it good??? and iam sorry for my languge if it week becous am not from america
You have a peaceful voice it's so relaxing.
Oh do I? Thank you☺️☺️
Question: How long did it take you to become fluent in the language you translate from? Did you start off as a freelance translator or was it something you decided to do on the side?
Sorry for all the questions, lovely video 😊
I do freelance transcription. It's not the same but similar 💜 & i try to keep my vlogs bilingual (French-English). Some people dislike it because they only speak one of the two languages, but i am proud of my multiculturalism 😊
I agree with you! I like to keep my videos bilingual too but for that problem, maybe you should make subtitles too! Even if it’s just one language either English or French😁👍🏻!!
@@hellojennie_english Yes, I try to add the subtitles or to say things in both !! But sometimes I get carried away & I forget!! 💜 Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Omg!! That’s the way I translate my own videos and set my subtitles and I didn’t even know that’s the way translators do .. translate TH-cam videos is my dream job 😍😍 but I have no glue how to start . Thank you for showing us this video.
This was a great video! I'm looking into learning Spanish/Chinese/Japanese so this is the inspiration I wanted!
Very nice video.
I am beginner translator freelance(arbic/english) and i will be good in this job.
Thank you for your advices❤❤
오늘 처음 영상 봤는데 완전 제가 살고 싶었던 삶을 살고 계세요!! 저는 꿈꾸기만 했지 못할 거라며 금방 포기해 버렸는데 저도 Jennie님처럼 열심히 해볼게요!!
응원하겠습니다!!😍❤️
your voice is so smooth like butter🥰
How do you get such documents to translate? I always feel concerned about copyrights when setting up my portfolio since I don't have as much experience with past clients.
Wow amazingg! Cant believe i got to see how translators live their lives 😍🙆🏻♀️
Hahaha yesss!!! But there definitely are more amazing translators than me out there for sure.
You did well yourselves too! I hope you will secure more clients in the future! 🙆🏻♀️❤️
Noorazeah Mohamad Fuzi Thanks for the support!! 🥺♥️♥️
What's the site where I can sign up to do English to Spanish?
you're so motivating!!!! thank you so much cute human!! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ💖
Hi could you talk about how you started translating for upwork please
Could you please tell me when you translate for your client do you use a specific app for writing or you write on the website itself ?
I’m not her but by looking at the video I’m pretty sure she copied the file and pasted it down on word document, And then she just transfers the word document to a file or just keep it as itself and turns it in to the clients.I’m not sure if you were still wondering but if you were yea😅 hope I helped😂😄
Damn how much do translators usually get paid? Seems like a big and hard job
This video just gave me an idea. Thank you Very much.
Hello I am a senior highschool student I was inspired by your videos and realized that I should improve my skills in reading hangeul I realized that I can apply it and make it as my future job for me its so fun learning new languages thank you so much you inspired me😊💓
You’re so welcome!! Glad you find Korean interesting😆❤️❤️
Wow thats so cool 👏 I love that you share that process
Happy to hear that 😍😍 Thank you!!
I'm looking into freelance translating as some kind if side gig. I figured it would my best option since I plan to be travelling a lot. How much does it usually take up? Like what is the schedule like usually?
It really depends! For me, it took several days on average :)
@@hellojennie_english What about education requirements? Also do you have any suggestions on where I could learn more about this career field?
@@hellojennie_english i can apeak English Hindi and French fluently...😋
Well first off, dont look at it as a side gig
Hello I was asked to do some translation work for a app creator. And then potentially upload in the back end. How can i prepare myself should i take this role and what questions should i ask pls
Main role I’d help to coordinate translators and content.
& at some point coordinate the content in the web back end
very interesting, thanks for sharing 😘💗you have a really calming voice xx
Thank you🥺♥️♥️ I didn’t know that before I start youtube but people said that few times 😊!!
@@hellojennie_english I love to collaborate with you plus never collaborate with a Korea before just love your video
aries War Oh I’m so glad 🥺 Yeah let’s do that ~!! 😊👍🏻
@@hellojennie_english all right
Thank you for sharing, it has been inspiring, indeed.
hello, i have some questions, i hope you can answer !!
what do you need to study become a freelance translator ?
how much money do you earn in a week doing this ?
i have heard many good things about being a freelance translator and i am planning to become one when im older, i hope you see this !!
thanks !! :)
Hi! Thank you for watching:)
Unfortunately I don’t do this for living. So I think I’m in no position to guarantee you how much I earn on a regular basis😭(cuz I don’t translate on a regular basis😅 Still in school..)
Additionally I worked as a general translator, which means Im not specialized in any specific field. So I didn’t study anything but English in general..
Hope this would help u and good luck on your future dream of becoming a translator!! :)👍🏻❤️
to all of you wanting to be a translator and probably apply for job in translation companies, i employ you to get familiar with CAT Tools as soon as possible. at the very least, try Trados and pray your future clients will not use obscure/non-user friendly softwares.
Gorgeous and love the hairflip.
오늘 처음 구독하고 시청했네요. "양킹"에서..., 너무 감동해 들어봅니다. 저도 영어 때문에 미드 보고 있었는데....사례가 너무 제게는 귀한 간접 경험이 됩니다. 응원합니다. 저도 열심히할께요.
Hi Jennie, can you let me know what program you’re using for the translation please? I’d love to learn more about the tools. Many thanks :)
Oops This might not be the answer you’re looking for but I don’t use any tools... 😅
@@hellojennie_english Thank you for your response, dear :)
Hey, could you talk about the software or tool you use for translations and how you got started in upwork? Looking to start and I don't know where to work my documents😅. Love your video it was really well explained
I’ve only done pretty simple works so far so I didn’t need to use any program but word or google docx!
@@hellojennie_english ok! I'll check on those, it really help thank you💜
I am an Italian/English to French (France) freelance translator but I never found any translation jobs on Upwork. Can you give me advices to find one?
Well i think applying for as many jobs as you can is the only way to get one.?😣
Are you use translator app for translation??
I like your device stand....what is the name of that meterial which you made stand your laptop
It’s from ‘actto’!!
Oooo.! You have a awesome talent with stunning look.❤️ Plse make a video about translator for beginners.iam also new translating in freelance.
Hello, just find your channel. I’m not so sure about being a translator I mean I reall like English and language learning. But, I’m not sure about would I be happy if I become a translator. Would you pls suggest me anything
(Sorry if this is a bit personal) About how much do you make per month?
I speak Burmese and English is there even a market for that. The verbal translation in Healthcare that I've encountered when I go with my parents have been pretty bad, so now when they ask if we need a translator I just say no, I can translate for my parents.
What's the name of the site you're translating in ?
Love your work
☺️❤️❤️
Hi I speak and write Portuguese, English and French but Its been hard for me to find a reliable website where I can work as a translator. Do you have any recommendations? please.
Ive only used Upwork and it’s been fine for me so far!
열심히하시는 모습 좋아보이네요. 어떤 결심으로 어떻게 살아가야할지... 다시한번 생각하게 되네요.
Thanks for your sharing:) Do you use any program/software for your profession?
It should be depending on the type of work you get, but so far I didn’t really need to use any!
Did you study a career for being a translator of korean?, I'm from Argentina and next year in going to study English-Spanish translation but it's been a long time since I study korean and it's my favorite language. Do you think I can get a job in South Korea as a translator? (I also speak French and learning Japanese haha) 🤍
I didn’t study anything to be a translator because I’m not a professional but just doing some general translation that doesn’t really require a professional skills in translating. Wow you’re so talented!😲😲 But I think it would be better for you to learn one language deeply to be a translator! 🤗❤️
how old are you and what course do you take in diploma/degree to become a translator?
what site do your work for? , , I’m very new to all of this and I don’t want to be scammed.
It’s upwork! I think its pretty safe here!
@@hellojennie_english upwork rejected my profile :(
크 멋지시네요 동기부여 받고 갑니다!
Great video!
Hi, may i ask, if i were to become a translator of korean-my native language, is majoring in korean language and literature is right?
I don’t know if it’s ‘right’ but it can definitely be a merit!:)
Does the website also offer in real life interpreters? Cause i’m looking for a Korean interpreter to come with me to the hospital
Yes! As a client, you can reach people by sending offers. :)
Can you still do translating work if you are out outside of korea for some time?
I haven’t tried it so I dunno!😅
What r u reading in universty??😍andd lots of love from turkey❤️
when did you get paid
i love your videos 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thank you soooo much 😭♥️♥️!!
What do you think about pursuing a career as a trans
How'd you start to be a translator? Did you go to college? If so, what did you major in
Well.. I just did it for fun and for my experience😂 This was possible because Im not doing this for a living!
If you want to study for that kind of work there is a career. The name would be simply Translation and Interpretation English-Spanish-French (for example, it can be two languages or more) You must graduate with a high certification ( TOELF for example) on the languages that you dominate, most companies hire translators with levels from B2 or higher (C1, C2).
With this profession, you can work translating books, important documents (contracts, legals docs, data) movies (subtitles) , advertisement... you can also work as an interpretator for conferences, interviews etc.
It's a really good career, some even work as teachers.
@@mcmoon_ thanks for the information! Is it a difficult field to get into? If I choose to study a language at uni eg Italian, how likely is it that I could get a job as a translator? Thanks!
@@ejsbxbeiaskd1770 I don't know if you like school or not but I just thought if you don't already you might like to know that you dont have to go through school for it. There are official exams anyone can take for levels in a language and get a certificate. You can self study and/or have a tutor if a degree takes too much time and money. You can just search what the name of the official certificate exam is of your target language and where it can be taken. For example the Japanese one is called JLPT and can only be taken twice a year and has five levels.
Anyhow this way saves you money and time.
Of course choose whatever you feel works for you.
@@ejsbxbeiaskd1770 Its not too hard to get into if you can prove your level in two languages. And it certainly helps if you have some experience even if its small (the more the better but any at all is a booster)
I plan on getting plastic surgery in Korea one day. Should I have my medical records translated?
I think it’d be better for you to have it but I heard that the hospitals have translators in their place?🙄 You should check it first!
안녕하세요 제니님! 통번역대학원을 가지 않고도 번역이나 통역일을 할 수 있다는건 알고 있는데요~ 혹시 어떻게 일감(?)을 얻을 수 있는지 여쭤봐도 될까요? ㅜㅜ
영상 속 플랫폼에서 일할 때는 할 수 있을 것 같은 일감 올라올 때마다 계속 내가 하겠다고 먼저 들이댔어요! 그러다가 얻어걸리면 최대한 빠르게 잘 하고 그 리뷰 잘 써달라 부탁하고 ㅎㅎ 또 가끔 단체문자처럼 클라이언트가 먼저 의뢰하는 경우가 있는데 최대한 다 수락을 해서 포트폴리오를 쌓았어요! 하지만 저도 완전 많이 했던 건 또 아니고, 전문분야를 정해서 한 것도 아닌 그냥 경험 삼아 한 거라서 도움이 될진 모르겠네용 ㅜㅜ
I think this is amazing when you're a bilingual and can speak more and more languages coz you can explore and find out more various cultures people and get paid unexpected money I love speaking different languages as I can speak many languages such as English, Urdu, Arabic, Russian, German, Persian and Pashto and never thought before to use them as a freelance translator watching your videos gave me an idea to focus on those languages and learn more languages to be a good freelance translator Thank you.
You're fascinating! 넘 멋지시네요~
감사합니다아아😍!!!
I search soooo much for a video like that!! I'm sooooo happy rn😍✨✨
I want to be a translator but I don't know how to do it, how to improve myself... My fluent languages are Turkish, French and English soo I hope my goal will be a success✨✨
Aww so glad you found one you were looking for! You’re so fluent in many languages You can become a wonderful translator 😍👍🏻
@@hellojennie_english Thank youuu✨💕💕
I know english, studied Business Administration and is it enough to take a course in translation yo become a professional translator?
I’m not a ‘professional’ translator so I dont exactly know the right course to take 😢 But I think you have strengths with your majors!
I can speak Turkish,English,Korean and German but I don't know what to do with them :/
Um a reall quick question am a middle school student and I love learning languages I currently know 3 language plus am learning 1 more language. The languages I know are German, English and hindi am currently learning korean . I wanted to ask that can we make money as a translator and what's do you think about being professional or me going in this field ? Plz reply mee ♡
if you go to uni/get a masters in interpretation, you can make a fairly good salary as an in house simultaneous conference interpreter. german is the highest paying language to interpret, and if interpreting into/from your native language with masters level accreditation from a prestigious university in the country you wish to work in, you could easily make a stable living. that being said, the translation industry is very competitive, and you're either going to succeed and land a great job or end up transcribing for a low salary. it would be best to pursue a job in which you can utilize your language skills while doing something like she is (freelance translating) on the side, and to then pursue a masters degree so that you have something to fall back on just in case.
@@Emily-vx6du thank you so much for your response I would study more about this job and decide ♡
How much do you get paid for translating 1 chapter of manga??
안녕하세요! 제니님의 영상들을 보고 채널을 알게되었는데요, 번역일들은 어떤식으로 구하시는지 물어봐도 될까요? 생각보다 얻기가 힘들어서 궁금합니다! ㅎㅎ
안녕하세요🤗ㅎㅎ 저도 7월부터해서 얼마 안 되기도 했고 학교다니면서 하니까 많이는 못 구했는데, 우선 그쪽에서 제안해서 들어오는 일들은 웬만하면 무조건 다 받았구요, 시급 같은 거 낮아도 일단 경력이 우선이라 지원도 많이 했어요! 그래도 많이 떨어져요.. 😭 또 웹사이트에 인스타 들어가는만큼 자주 들어가는 게 좋아요! 빨리 해줄 수 있는 사람 찾는 경우도 있거든요 ㅎㅎ 도움 되셨으면 좋겠어요😖
Upwork 기반으로 말씀드렸어요!
Hello Jennie / Korean college student vlog 아아 그렇군요ㅜㅜ Upwork 기억하겠습니당 감사합니다 :)
Hello Jennie / Korean college student vlog 제니님은 혹시 처음에 프로필 등록하실 때 한번에 등록되셨나요? 거절당할거라고 생각도 못했는데..눈물이 나네요 하하ㅜㅜ
Hi nice to meet you. Anyway is that profitable to do this translation ? I am a Bahasa native speaker and quite well in English. How much the mininum you could earn a month actually ? About 500 usd ? I am so into this 😍
Hiii 😄 It really depends on the project! I have made small money from $10 to $300! :)
My dream is to become a translator. I am fluent in Romanian, English and French and I am 13 years old. I started learning Korean and probably in the future I will try the Spanish language because it's
very similar to Romanian language.. I want to be a freelance translator🥰
Wow you’re so talented and yet you’re 13! I envy you😂👍🏻 I think you can definitely be a wonderful freelance translator in the future!
@@hellojennie_english Awww❤ Thank you so muchhhh! I hope something good comes out of this dream💖
@@user-sx1gd1ks3h check out matt vs Japan's youtube vids theyre very helpful for language learning I'd also recomend joining the refold discord and then joining the Korean one it has lots of resources to help you learn it easier
as someone who's trying to learn French and whose mother language is spanish, french and Spanish are very similar in many ways :D good luck on learning spanish too!!
Would you have any tips for me as I'm learning Korean right now? I'm using TTMIK(Talk to me in Korean), but I was wondering if you had any important tips.
To learn the same expression both in a polite way and in a casual way is so important! Like 안녕하세요 and 안녕. Also try to make Korean friends and talk to them in Korean that would improve your language skill so fast!🧡
@@hellojennie_english Thank you so much! You're really pretty btw
@@hellojennie_english hi ! do u have any idea how i can find korean friends online ?
잘보구가여~!
I need some stuff and finish my spanish course to translate!
Is translating high in demand? Can I have it as a full time job?
Of course! But I think it’d be better for us to have another language ability to survive..😂
잘보고 있습니다~😊😊
감사해요 항상 ㅎㅎㅎ🥺🥺
How many english words is needed yo be a english translator?
This is so motivating I choose bs in translation and interpretation English to Chinese and vice versa and I'm so confused that is this best degree or not 😐

See you then 😊
Very impressive. Simultaneous interpretation at a trade show and legal and healthcare translation? 미국으로 법대 오시는것도 생각하세요... 몇년 지난 비디오지만...
声音好好听。
Hay quá
