The opportunity

The Brazil–China corridor is booming. The language gap isn't closing.

Brazil–China trade now tops US$160 billion a year — far more than Brazil trades with the United States, and China has been Brazil's number-one trading partner since 2009. Yet the distance between Brazilian Portuguese and Mandarin remains vast. Automatic translation breaks down on contracts, compliance, and technical terms — exactly where deals are won or lost. That's where a human liaison pays for itself.

Why Issam

Why work with Issam

A rare language pairing

Few professionals cover Portuguese, Mandarin, and English in one person. I do — alongside Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and more.

Diplomatic-grade discretion

Nine years interpreting for foreign ministries, police and military missions, and global corporations means absolute composure and confidentiality under pressure.

A person, not an agency

You work directly with me — fast replies, one point of contact, no middlemen and no agency mark-up.

Human accuracy where it counts

Machine translation is fine for a menu. For a contract or a negotiation, you need nuance, context, and culture — that's what I bring.

Simple process

His story

Meet Issam — the “Languages Ninja”

Viral on Instagram Watch on Instagram →

“To have a unique job, you have to be unique yourself.”

Issam Baloushi earned the nickname “Languages Ninja” across regional media for one reason: a relentless passion for languages. Where others saw the challenge of mastering twelve languages, he saw a way to connect people — and build trust — across cultures that rarely meet.

Over nine years he has served as a diplomatic liaison for Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, interpreted for police and military missions, and worked with global names from Porsche to international sports media — always with composure, accuracy, and discretion.

For the Brazil–China corridor he works primarily as a consecutive interpreter and trade liaison, combining professional Portuguese and working Mandarin with native-level English — the ideal toolkit for negotiations, sourcing, and relationship-building between the two markets.

Working languages for this corridor: Portuguese · Mandarin · English · Spanish · Arabic — and more on request.
