Thank you all Nov 14, 2017

Wow, a lot of replies! It would be impossible to answer all of them, but I found some very insightful, Sheila's especially, and also Lidia's. Well, generally speaking, even if I was trained as a teacher (in a six months not very reliable Spanish program called CAP, probably some of you know what I'm talking about), I just can't "split" properly those both abilities, teaching and translating; I feel interferences between. I'll keep trying to solve this.

Are engineers, lawyers, doctors, accountants, or architects good teachers? Nov 14, 2017

The fact the question was even asked is just beyond me.

I have been a good singer, which has made it hard for me to speak. I had to struggle to separate my ability to talk from my ability to sing.

Don't you feel it weird for me to make the above statement?
