Hello everyone, I need my Curriculum Vitae translated into Spanish. How to get it done? I can reciprocate and translate someone's CV in Italian.
a degree, it’s much more. It’s something that changes you, that makes you grow up and, in most cases, makes you a better person. I’ve been there and I speak by experience. In my early twenties I wanted to improve my English, so I told my parents that in order to learn better I needed to live where English was spoken. My decision was between Australia and the United States, and that was a tough decision since both are interesting and beautiful countries. After a lot of thinking the winner was California, a place I always wanted to see. Needless to say I was thrilled and I couldn’t stop talking about this new adventure with my friends and family. My parents on the other hand were worried. Having watched many Hollywood action movies, a way too many I have to say, they had this idea that California was a crime ridden place full of hazards. What would I do if something awful happened to me? And what would I eat? Would I eat enough? What if I got sick? What if I lost my money? Those where some of the many worries my parents had that time. But nothing bad happened during my stay in California, I had the best time of my life, my English improved dramatically and I made lots of friends. That experience broaden my mind, my vision of life and people. I grew more mature, and I’ve changed in a way I can still see today. I am what I am also because that experience. A few years later I came to China, and that was another incredible life experience. If the United States where different and it took me some time to adjust, it was nothing compared to China. In China almost every aspect of life was so new to me that I was overwhelmed. The culture, the people, the food, the customs…, it was amazing and shocking at the same time, I was under the so called culture shock. I could speak only a few words of Chinese, I was so clumsy using chopsticks I made people laugh at me, and I was for sure not used to interact with Chinese people. In fact I was too direct, sometime too blunt, because I didn’t know better. But since I had an open mind and curiosity, I become to adapt, I travelled, start learning Chinese, enjoyed eating local food and made some Chinese friends. Learning Chinese helped me making more friends, even the one who couldn’t speak English and this helped me not to lock in the ‘expat bubble’. As time passed I adapted to China quite well. Now I can even cook some Chinese food, few months ago I did my first “松子鱼”, and according to my wife, which is Chinese by the way, it was delicious. I love Cantonese dim sum, the Nanjingese 汤包, the Fujianese ban mia版面, the Shandong sea food and much more.What I want to say is: no matter where you go, keep an open mind, be curious, explore, get to know local people and don’t close yourself in your own fellow citizen community. If I wasn’t like that, if I was always with Italians or expats, if I always cooked and ate Italian food, now I wouldn’t be here, nor I would know much about China.
Italy has his own culture and a strong peculiar character. For most foreigners it’s an amazing country, in fact many relocate there because of the good lifestyle, food and warmth of local people. For a few others it can be daunting, because they find it’s very different from their own country. It’s all personal. We Italians believe in family, and we keep strong ties with our loved ones. We live with our parents until we get married, it often happens that sons live with families up to their thirties. In Italy we have a strong food culture, and this is similar to China. We don’t adapt very fast to other cuisines.Italians can be very direct, when we show affection we are spontaneous and open. We discuss animatedly and with a lot of hand gestures, and often foreigners find this amusing. Some even think mistakenly that we are fighting when in fact we are just discussing passionately about something. I am here today to explain also my role as a teacher. I consider myself more a counselor that a teacher. I not only teach my language, I also love to teach about my culture and society. I try my best to instill in my students the right mindset to achieve their goals while in my country. I always repeat: with the right attitude abroad, many good things happen, with the wrong attitude the opposite happens. I am always happy when I find a truly interested and curious student. The one that is motivated, hard-working and willing to learn with an open mind.

Hola,
I like to learn languages watching movies or TV series, it keep me focused and interested.
My favourite type are comedies, police/crime stories, thrillers and horror. I don't like telenovelas.
I also like documentary series on culture and nature.
But in order to learn new words and patterns, the Spanish subtitles are paramount.
Can anyone suggest some nice TV series that have the subtitles?
Gracias!!!
Cris
