About Mario Fontenla

Dear Sir: I hope this e-mail finds you well and in good spirits. I am a translator/interpreter who speaks and writes very well In Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish(Latin American),French(France),Italian(Italy) and English(USA). I have been speaking Portuguese and Spanish since I was three years old and I have lived about 9 years in Brazil and Argentina when growing up because my parents are both nuclear physicists from Brazil and Argentina (I can use them as references for difficult technical words as well), and we traveled from the US to Brazil to Argentina every three years going around all the major labs in these countries. Thus, I know the culture there well. I have won an award and have been nominated for two others working at the Red Cross here in NY translating from English to Portuguese and Spanish. I have taken all the available courses up to and including advance levels in French (French alliance and Berlitz school of languages were I receive a report from my teacher saying how I am an excellent student with good marks in everything). Also, I have studied up to the same level in Italian and have learned well the culture of these countries and the language. I feel I can translate from any two of these pair of languages well enough and give a good translation not just a quick and dirty job. I studied 21/2 years of electrical engineering at Polytechnic University and also have a certificate in Building electrical systems design from NYU. I can do my part and turn out very good translations if you do your part and give a chance to translate for you. My translation/interpretation rates are negociable. I hope to be hearing from you soon, Mario Fontenla
