1. My personal story of becoming a translator

Ever since I was a child I was interested in understanding what things meant in foreign languages. With a gift for learning languages that I had inherited from my mother and my maternal grandfather I showed a capability for learning French, Hungarian, and German when I was young. My mother knew English, French, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, and also learned some Latin. My grandfather was a professor of linguistics and knew 11 Finno-Ugric languages.

I actually attracted the attention of a few students and also even a couple of my college teachers who had me do translations for them, three of them being major jobs. One of my early jobs was the translation of a text by a psychology student into English. Another job was the translation of a part of a book by a bird ecologist into English. The third big job I did was the translation into English of half of Truffles and hypogaeic mushrooms of Hungary, written by László Hollós, a Hungarian mycologist (a scientist who studies mushrooms) in the early twentieth century. It was about 230-250 pages long, and was considered a major work in the field of Hungarian mycology. The job was paid for by a researcher at the department of plant physiology at the ELTE University in
