What does it mean "there"? Ukraine/Russia/Moldova? When you come? Is it ok if the translator will be available only on Sunday and Saturday? How good must be her/his english?
Don't get me wrong. I am not malintent in any way. I don't plan to have a "stag" weekend by any means. I have just never done this and would like to have a translator and someone who knows. I would love to meet a wonderful Ukrainian girl :-)
greatintellect if you find someone in Kiev who will work for $6 per hour just show me his photo, just for fun))) If you really need serious recommendations and a professional interpreter be ready to pay $10per an hour
Hmmmmmm.....something just not right about that sentence!!!! :-))
To be honest, if going for first time, write a few girls, meet with them, have a nice time seeing the city, spend some money and get your feet wet. How exactly did you arrive at $6 an hour? Did you take in effect the drop of the hyvnia?
I like the way that he dictates the fee, interpreter(s) dictate the fee and it is then for one to decide if they take it or leave it :)
Anyone of great intellect must realise that the interpreter and any lady will talk in Russian together and the interpreter is likely to mention that 'a individual' is a miser only wanting to pay $6 per hour!
Agree. So many women there can speak English. Why would you waste your time with one that cannot? Where do you expect to take this relationship or are you looking for just someone to have dinner with? You are so limiting yourself.
GI: $6 / hour Terps and Tarts are prolly around in the current economic climate, but likely one will give you the clap and the other will give you your arse in the palm of your hand. I suggest you approach the project only after a month or two of reading around the various available resources.
This is good. I really have learned a lot. I will be there for business. I expect the translator would know where to go and what to do. Thanks for all of the excellent information! It is exploratory and I will be travelling often. Also it would be many hours. Not just 3 hours in the evening.
I married an interpreter from Ukraine and just some of the stories I've heard, well I could write a book :)
The saying that one gets what they pay for is as true in Ukraine as anywhere, indeed Ukrainians may be the first to attempt to overcharge but you need to establish the going rate for a quality interpreter in Ukraine, I'm not up to speed on the going rate but some 4 or 5 years ago it was circa EUR8 per hour and don't think that they work in hrivnas, it's euros or USD but preferably euros because it's more stable and worth more.
