I'm impressed. That is so cool that you were able to understand what he was talking about. To me, that's one of the hardest parts about translating. It's always some technical information that I don't automatically know in English anyway, like about banking systems or making aluminum tubing, or building housing. Those are the kinds of things people have asked me about. I'm afraid i wouldn't have been any good with feldspar.

The dinner and conversation sound nice. They were so thoughtful to have paid you for your time, too.

It sounds like a nice experience, and I'm sure the professor will go to his conference confident about his presentation, too. I love the trilingual conversation. That would have been a hoot!

Thanks for sharing.
