On-Line Interpreter Test
October 16, 2007
After nearly 5 hours of practice within 1 week, I passed the test on the phone this afternoon. It was a great relief considering I was not with my best physical condition, and my mind went blank a few times during the test.
My testing supervisor was very nice to me. She said she saw my potential being a great on-line interpreter even though I didn’t do a good job today. And she gave me some great feedback and professional advice. Truly appreciate it.

UCLA Confucius Institute
October 4, 2007
Today is my momentum.
After completing 2 phone interviews this morning, I got a physcial interview at Beverly Hill Lingual Institue tomorow. And later when I was preparing for lunch, I got a very late reply from San Francisco State University regarding my request about 3 months ago.
The good news is, Confucius Institute is recently open at UCLA, which is only about 20 minute bus ride from my place. If I ever consider pursing a Chinese teaching credential, that will be a good place to go.
The 1st Confucius institute was open in Soul, Korea in 2004. Within 3 years, the Chinese Language office has promoted up to 120 institute around the world. Even though I’m from Taiwan, and always a strong advocate of traditional characters, I’m afraid that Taiwanese government has lost the battle of promoting Traditional character in this movement.
