Episode 224: EwK224 - Leda on books, language learning, and golden retrievers!

Leda  is an English to Romanian Charity and Public Sector Translator whom I met on LinkedIn a few months ago. Initially I was happy to have found another Romanian connection who enjoys languages, but as I began to read more of her content, I thought she would be a good guest to bring on the podcast too!

Leda loves translating texts that educate, entertain, and inspire: from articles about mental health to child protection documents and educational resources developed by charities. She also loves reading, learning languages, and having a nice cuddle with her dog, Puck.

We talked about:

• Leda’s interest in languages from an early age.
• How reading books, including audio books, can help you to develop your language skills.
• Leda’s book group on LinkedIn.
• Translating children’s books into Romanian
• How Leda got into doing social care, parenting, and mental health content translations.
• The benefits of having a dog - I had to get Puck the golden retriever in there somewhere!
