In this interactive hands-on workshop, Spanish translator, editor, grammarian and presenter extraordinaire Xosé Castro guides participants in resolving problems frequently encountered by English-to-Spanish translators, especially those working in the United States, looking in particular at what rules of Spanish grammar and usage are applicable and when it is not only acceptable but desirable to break those rules in the interests of effective communication.

Although this workshop is aimed mainly at translators of English to Spanish, translators of Spanish to English will benefit from Xosé’s prodigious knowledge of the Spanish language and his precise explanations of the finer points of Spanish grammar and usage.
