Firefly Linguistic Service’s Mission
My mission is to: catalog and organize the best Spanish-language resources on the internet.
- Organize Spanish-language resources on the internet for use by translators, interpreters and anyone else who is learning Spanish
- Create resources to fill in “knowledge gaps”
- Develop custom word lists and glossaries for language professionals
These resources are available at www.spanishbytopic.com
My Background
In 1995 I was a student in the Graduate Program in Translation at the University of Puerto Rico. One day the dean of the program said something that has stuck with me ever since. Regarding how we could become more professional in the use of our language she said “Tienen que llenar los huecos en el conocimiento” — “You need to fill in the gaps in your knowledge”.
From that moment I began collecting lists of terminology and websites that provided subject matter expertise in Spanish.
