During heavy monsoon of August, The Acotec Delegation team of Chile reached at Kolkata Airport on 6th August. I started interpreting to Mr. Carlos Arriba and Louis when they at the city office of Tega Industries in New Alipur. Carols is originally from from port city of Chile, so his Spanish is quite different from the Spanish of Santiago de Chile. He is the general Manager and Louis is the Production Manager of Acotec. What is astonishing is that Louis speaks English very well and Carlos understands English well. So, for them, I didn't need to interpret every moment during their 5 days visit to Kolkata Tega office and factory. Interestingly, Carlos learned some Bengali expressions from me and tried to use it during several official meetings. They tasted some Indian dishes with pleasure and finally went back on 10th with a good memory of Kolkata monsoon. ( They recorded several moods of monsoon whenever they found rain on the way to the rural factory. For me, it's a nice experience to enrich my knowledge on Chilean culture.
