Anyone who speaks korean well want an interpreting gig once a month or can recommend people who might? Time might be a problem for people who work full time. It’s in 용인 once a month, rotating between saturday at 8/9pm and thursday at 4/5am (depending on european summer time) but it’s fun and really good experience for anyone interested in interpretation/translation or just looking to improve your professional korean skills. Please put me in touch if you know anyone 🙂
