I hope your work as an interpretor doesn't involve the use of these big, red letters. Besides this, I can point you to some typing mistakes in your advertisement and remind you that you are violating forum regulations by double posting in here.

lot of guides in St Pete and I think you have to be licensed...to do it legally. Interpreting...a lot of interpreters too...you should be in the habit of being more exact

Yes...I can tell-your command of the English language is rather exceptional! Do you also know EBONICS? And 200 euros sounds reasonable too. You must have a fairly large clientile. BTW my friends there in St. Pete are also guides and an Interpreters...very fluent, very professional and very mature! From what I understand-to be a guide at any of the museums you need to be licensed and take test in order to be so. Perhaps one day you will meet the standard...but from what I can tell...perhaps you should seek a new profession. Attitude is everything!

Well.. I am quite sure that I will take a 100 mile detour to avoid translation work like yours. Your reaction makes me wonder why I didn't just remove your add when I first spotted it. Perhaps it's because I feel that I must have overlooked plenty other rubbish these days.
Could you at least tell your future employers what sort of translation work you specialise in? So that we will all understand why someone would actually hire you for $200,-/hour?

I'll do this one for free, but after this I'm going to have to start billing you

1) English is my native tongue. Think about that when you are going to
correct my messages
2) I've been working as a guide for almost 6 years. Not one of my clients was ever disappointed, although my usual price was 200 euros per day.
3)You will never find an interpreter like me. Neither in SPB, nor for 100 miles around.
4) As a conclusion- back off
Yours Faithfully. LOL

P.S. I did it in Russian for you as well. No charge

1) Английский язык - мой родной язык. Думайте об этом, когда Вы идете в
исправьте мои сообщения
2) Я работал как гид в течение почти 6 лет. Не один из моих клиентов был разочарован, хотя моя обычная цена была 200 евро в день.
3) Вы никогда не будете находить переводчика как я. Ни в SPB, ни для 100 миль вокруг.
4) Как заключение - отступают
Искренне ваш. LOL

nobody should be responding to this utter "Kook" Mr. D. For someone who is here soliciting his services...he surely lacks maturity, business sense, character, and is obviously uneducated. Certainly he reflects negatively on St Petersburg State University.

C'mon, dude. How can you resist responding to this? This is absolutely hilarious. Laughing Now this actually is funny, rather than the stuff in the other threads.

Yorb, can I hire you instead of Mr. D.? You're much more convincing Wink

Ps. Mr. D: Going back to my business would mean locking this thread. Razz I don't want to disappoint our forumites by doing this...
