My pupil and I often have a laugh during our conversations in English together. Today we were talking about the princess and the frog – or toad. In the version I grew up with the princess kisses the ugly frog – or toad and he turns into a handsome prince. In the French version the princess takes the frog – or toad to bed with her and in the morning wakes up with a handsome prince in her bed* –much to the disgust of her parents.
Which version do you prefer?
*She should be so lucky

More work?
I’ve just discovered a very useful site for people involved in languages like me, it’s called Language 123
. It’s a special site for translators and people looking for "Translation Services" or "Translation Jobs" in different languages. Freelance translators can post their CVs and samples of their work. Projects can be left on the site and translators can compete for the job insuring the best results. The site is attractive and easy to navigate so that you can quickly find what you are looking for. What’s more, being on the web it’s worldwide which what translating is all about. Hopefully I’ll find some extra work with this site’s help.
