In "Crítica de la Traducción", I explored the analysis and evaluation of translation works. During this course, I had the opportunity to dissect and compare translations, which were intellectually stimulating, as it allowed me to understand language and cultural nuances better.
I enjoyed the critical adaptation of songs because it allowed me to creatively balance the original meaning, cultural context, and musical elements, making the translation interesting to the audience.
I also enjoyed discovering cultural differences. I appreciated the challenge of interpreting subtle cultural elements and idiomatic expressions.
I learned new vocabulary. I expanded my language skills and discovered new words and phrases.
I also had to convey meaning accurately. This part intrigued me. I worked with Elias. We enjoyed sharing ideas and perspectives.
