As it can be seen in my Byo, I am an Printing Engineer working with consulting, training, troubleshooting and everything related to technical and production problems in printing...

Someone told me that the best way to learn a foreign language is to find a local language speaker lover... since I am in love with my work, I would love to learn chinese the tough way, trying to help out printing plants and solving day-to-day technical and/or production problems.

Any way I can find the right path around here?

Hi Nestor,

              Are you based in Brazil or China or somewhere else at the moment? Do you use Linkedin? It seems to be s decent tool for networking, twitter is excellent to for extended you range of contacts. If you want to act in a consultancy capacity, I'd get in touch with traders who deal with printed stuff, hence you could be useful to them problem solving at their supplier's plants etc. Anyway, just an idea. :)

Yes, I do use Linkedin (actually I am one of the managers of the Flexography around the World group).

Thanks for the tip!
