Bio

Hello!

How are you?

Thanks for the visit.

Do you have a minute?

Okay! I'm Gildas Hekonme from Benin,
West Africa.

I'm a university graduate in Linguistics and Stylistics working as an English to French and Fon translator,
instructor of English, French, and Fon, news producer, and tour guide.

Currently, I enjoy five (5) years
of professional practical in the translation industry and seven (7) years in
the teaching sector.

By and large, I have worked with
local and international clients from diverse fields and culture as well as
domestic and overseas organizations.

 

As a result, these are what I can
ably do: 

- general translation from
English into French and Fon and inversely;

- technical translation for the
legal, medical, commercial, and the scientific sector;

- proofreading English, French,
and Fon translated or written texts;

- teaching English, French, and
Fon;

- subtitling video and audio
clip;

 

That will be all. I will keep you
posted on any new skill I develop!

Thanks for your time...

Leave me a message now for a
fruitful collaboration!

Not ready?

I can stay in touch with you for your
future openings! Leave a message!!
