I'll be getting my freelancing back on track and apply for some translation work and register on some job portals. Might check out some Portuguese books from the library to become more comfy with my third language again and maybe score some local interpreting work (although having to interpret scares the shit out of me, so also I'll need to get busy gathering all the courage I possibly can).

THIRD language? Holy shit you're amazing! I barely speak 1.

I'm German, dad's a rock music fan and a language teacher (EN) and I moved abroad in my early 20s (PT) - that's two extra languages learned without much effort. I just didn't forget them again because I'm using them all the time. I think most people who roam the internet have their native language plus English. I feel for all the English speaking folks, it is much more difficult for them to pick up foreign languages because everybody speaks English to them and even where English is not the default there will be an English option a lot of the times.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
