TAL HEN

Onkelos Translations. Translating words. Connecting worlds.

The first time I officially translated and even got paid for the translation was when I was sixteen and flew to New York with a group of friends. Two of them wanted to go to Manhattan one day and they were afraid they wouldn't get along because they didn't trust their English. They asked me to change my plans and come with them to translate for them. We took the subway to 42nd Street and shopped, and shopped, and shopped. And all this time I am used as their mouth and ears. And the payoff? They paid for my travels, the pizza we ate and the clothes I bought that day :) That day I realized what power I have in my brain, and I realized that it is worth investing in translations and since then I compare English and Hebrew with all my might and even started a translation business where I work with translators from many other languages And together we provide excellent translations in all languages ​​(well, almost in all languages, not in Mandarin)

The part with teaching English started when I realized that I enjoy passing on the knowledge I have to others and intensified when I recognized that the others are happy to receive the knowledge from me and that it contributes to them. I started teaching English at a six-year school and realized that this framework (parent meetings, annual trips) did not suit me and I moved to the academy. I started at the management college in Rishon Lezion, the one with the most beautiful campus I know, and along the way I made my way to the big league, teaching at the university! I am currently a junior faculty, a teacher from abroad, working hard to establish my place in the academy :) My students are the coolest thing that can be, they invest their soul in their degree and I hope so much that they will fulfill their dreams

I always liked to research but I didn't see myself doing research in academia. When I started studying as part of my master's degree in the Department of Translation and Translation Studies at Bar Ilan University, I enrolled in the course "Implications and Politeness in Discourse" given by Prof. Aldea Weizman. The first class with Prof. Weizman was the beginning of the rest of my life! I listened mesmerized by the pearls that came out of her mouth, she was talking about my life, I realized that I wanted to explore more and discover more than I knew, and I immediately turned to her to ask her to guide me in my thesis. she agreed. And the transition to a doctorate under her guidance was only natural

ResearchGate is a social network for scientists and researchers to share articles, answer questions and create collaborations, I'm there too
