Bio

Helping you connect to the world, one word at a time
English-Spanish-Japanese translations and language services


Background
My name is Alberto Avena and I am a native American English speaker who is also fluent in Spanish and have a high level in the Japanese language as well. I have been living in Japan for the past 11 years and in these 11 years, I have taught English and Spanish to various schools as well as to private students and have also done freelance translating work as well. I started translating in about 2009 as a way to make a little money but my love for the field grew and grew. Now, I wish to expand my horizons a bit and reach my full potential and give you the best translation services possible.



In addition to teaching and translating as well as other jobs within other fields, I also have experience in the IT field as I graduated in computer science and have worked in the field as well. I also have experience in the automotive industry as I currently work for an automotive company as an in-house translator, translating various documents about the new functions the company puts out. One of my strong suits is translating or proofreading IT-related and automotive-related topics and also topics pertaining to social media or media in general. I also have translated and interpreted various religious topics and have been invited back every year to do so. I also have experience in retail/sales and for 3 years, I worked in a sales office here in Japan. My job included translating web pages and blogs of the company from English to Spanish as well as Japanese to English and Spanish.



Because of my IT/Automotive background and experience in translating blogs/websites and other media topics, I hesitate to accept political and/or medical translations although I will not refuse right away.

I currently work 5 days a week, Monday to Friday but am available on most evenings and weekends and online all day as well. If you are interested, please contact me and if possible, please send me the contents of your translation as well as a quote.
