Giulia Roasio (giulia)

Freelance translator and aspiring writer, with a deep love for Asia. I've lived in Canada and China and I've been translating mostly to and from English/Italian, and, on occasion, did some Chinese-Italian translations.

Born and raised in Rome, Italy. I've always been interested in languages as I enjoy looking at languages and seeing how different cultures created languages based on their specific qualities. I enrolled in Asian Studies at university and picked Chinese as my manin language and Japanese as second. During my studies in Italy I also traveled to China and then, after my graduation, I decided to carry on my studies from an international standpoint, so I moved to Canada and completed a master in Asia-Pacific Policy Studies.
While abroad English was so essential to me that it somewhat became like a first language, since I work mainly on English texts in my studies and personal life. I have some experience with editing and proofreading for journal articles translated into English, and with translations for tv shows and dramas, both from English and Chinese. When in Vancouver I also started teaching English to foreigners and now I'm still teaching Italian as first and second language to immigrants and English.
Recently I've been trying to expand my freelance work and I've dedicated myself to online translations for gaming guides, children's books and novels and would love to keep working in the field and use my language skills to introduce people to foreign cultures and art, whether it's literature, cinema or music.
