Hi! I'm rather new here, and I've never really been active on any online forum before.

I first started reading Wheel of Time in 2003, at the age of 13, but I still haven't finished, partly because I lost interest in the series for some years, and partly because I haven't had time to read as much as I'd like after starting again.

Right now I'm studying English at a university in Finland, my home country, and I'd like to be a translator when I've graduated.

I hope everyone here has a good start of the year! :)

Welcome! :pleased-1: How far into the series have you read? Is there a particular type of translation work you're interested in going into?

Thanks for all your replies, I'll do my best to reply to all of them :)

I started rereading the series bit over a year ago, and I'm currently at the start of "Crossroads of Twilight". I did get a bit further the last time (I think I was reading "Knife of Dreams" when I stopped), but I've forgotten a lot, so I thought it was best to start all over again.

I'd like to translate books or TV- shows, or maybe movies. The subtitles in theatres are generally OK in Finnish, but not that good in Swedish, (we have double subtitles in movie- theatres in Finland) so that could be intersting to me.

Hello, Milecha, and welcome! :D

As Sailea said, it's great to find someone fond of translation. I'm also studying to be a translator, although I'd also like to try teaching. :pleased-1:

Hi hello and welcome!

Tervetuloa verkkosivuilla! (although I'm not sure that's right... my dad isn't very reliable sometimes.)

Hi Milecha! Welcome to Tar Valon. :D I'm about to start a re-read myself -- a site-wide re-read, actually. :D You're welcome to join in, provided you don't mind spoilers from the books you haven't read.

Hope to see you around some more! :D

Welcome! We have a couple (at least) Finns on the site, and also some folks who do translations, so you're in good company.
