Yoruba|Igbo translation and a virtual assistant.

Hi there Welcome to my page. I’m a professional translator and an experienced virtual assistant. I specialize in translation and transcription of native Nigerian languages like Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa to English and vice versa. I hold a bachelor degree in linguistics in one of the most reputable institution in Nigeria and thus can communicate easily and speak English language fluently. Additionally, I can natively speak Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa which is the three major ethnic group in Nigeria and can speak all the language due to my privilege of living in a diverse Nigerian community where I learn, interact with people of different tribes. Additionally, I’ve got a fast typing skill which when coupled with my good listening skill makes transcription a lot easier task to carry out. Similarly, my virtual assistant experience has been a sound one considering my years of experience in the filed and the opportunity I’ve got working with people in different niches and background. While each task demand varies, what has been my greatest tool is my good communication skill, calm personality to know what the client want and to better understand the details and descriptions of the task. Finally, time management is my most essential tools as I like to get to work as soon as possible and to always abide by the scheduled deadline. If I possess the necessary skills required to successfully complete your project, which I believe I do , kindly send me an invite or a message. I’m looking forward to working with you. Thanks. Barakat
