These are some simple but effective methods I’ve applied in my business and they are not exhaustive. Try them out and you’ll see they will help you to succeed in your business too.

In this paper we will study such issues as why we can lose our mother tongue abroad and if we can lose it completely, the importance of maintenance of mother tongue and how we should do it, the advantages and disadvantages of being an immigrant translator.
