On Teaching Tourist English

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a profitable niche in the ever expanding EFL field.

Some students do not have the time to invest in a protracted program of classes, but yet have a functional need to immediately use English in their work duties.

Enter ESP!

A rudimentary ESP program begins with a strong base (or should) of the English language mixed with the specific English phrases, vocabulary, and conversational experience to arm the student with the basics to function in their job role. The joy and pleasure of reading of Shakespeare is sacrificed for the immediate no nonsense approach to mastering a bit of the English language in the smallest amount of time possible (Survival English).

The tourist industry is vast from hotels to the ticket takers at an amusement park. Professionals across the spectrum can use English to interact better with their clients or more importantly advance to a better paying position.

Professor Winn is available to teach Specific Tourist English for whatever sector of the industry. Survival English can be taught during a weekend.

Advance in your industry today and contact Professor Winn to help you!

Getting Medical English Right!

Medical, biomedical, and pharmaceutical document translations are serious business. A person's life is at stake if an error should occur.

Spanish-English medical translations require a dedicated professional familiar with the knowledge and experience to accurately and meticulously transfer the meaning from one language to another.

Most medical translators work on a freelance basis and therefore should not surprise a client.

Quality control is of course a prime concern for the medical translator. Other elements of the translation process include:

• Project preparation and planning
• Linguistic preparation
• Translation
• Editing (medical and text)
• Proof reading

Medical translation is also a broad field encompassing medical devices, medicine, clinical trials, personal medical histories, and journal articles from medical practitioners.

For accurate, fast, and complete medical translations, choose Professor Winn! Translations via email may also be sent to mrenglish101@gmailcom for prompt evaluation. Translations, editing, proofreading, and writing organic articles in English are a part of Professor Winn's English Language Services.

Brazilian Portuguese to English Translation Services

Professor Winn, your humble site author, is pleased to offer Brazilian Portuguese > English translations in the business and finance, medical, legal, technology, and international relations fields.

Brazil is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world (estimated population of 185 million dwarfing Portugual's 10 million) and the largest economy in South America (nearly $1.5B GDP) - a powerful combination for international commerce and English, its lingua franca.

The Portuguese language is interesting in Brazilian history. Portuguese has not always been the dominant language. When the first Portuguese colonists arrived in the country in the 16th century, Portuguese was not the dominant language. At that time a simplified version of Portuguese,Lingua Geral, was the lingua franca. It was a version easily used by the native population as it was based on local languages.

By the end of the 18th century, Portuguese gained ground helped by in no small measure by the arrival of 1.5 million Portuguese settlers in the following centuries. Of course, by this time the Portuguese language in ascendancy had borrowed heavily from the languages that it had supplanted as well as from neighboring tongues, thus forming the basis of modern Brazilian Portuguese.

Professor Winn offers Brazilian Portuguese to English translations with the following strict criteria:

• Accurate.
• Idiomatically written.
• On time.

Unlike some translation providers, Professor Winn guarantees all translations undergo an editing process as part of our quality management procedures.

Professor Winn translates Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese in the following areas:

• Business and Finance
• Medical
• Legal
