I am a beginner translator. I am currently completing a certificate for French to English translation but I would also like to learn Spanish-English translation.

Thinking Spanish Translation Jan 4, 2017

Hi grahamperra,

I'd recommend "Thinking Spanish Translation" by Haywood, Thompson and Hervey (https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Spanish-Translation-Course-English/dp/0415481309). I used this book as part of my MA in Translation, and I found it to be very practical.

All the best,
Tim
