with Barrick Gold Delegation

At the end of monsoon, The Argentinean Barrick Gold Delegation team reached at Kolkata in the early morning of 30th August. Three managers among them speak English, but the General Manager Mr. Carlos doesn't understand English. So, for him only, I interpreted in three crucial meeting and one grand demonstration of Tega's production procedure. In the evening, we went to HHR hotel for grand dinner when they enjoyed Indian classical music concert. This time, I had to adjust with Buenos Aires Spanish which is considered as the most different and unique dialect among Castellano in Latin American countries. But with such a team full of humor, I never felt any difficulty to interpret.

With Acotec Delegation team

Carlos & Louis in Tega office

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.
