who I am

Languages, the other people & me

Communicating, understanding each other, that's life!

Languages and other people have always played a central role in my life. I began with a literary baccalaureate in three languages (English-German-Spanish), then went on to study L.E.A. (Applied Foreign Languages), followed by an English degree in Languages, Literature and Civilizations of English-speaking countries, with options in Italian and Polish.

And then?

And then turn to teaching in English and helping others to communicate.

Now a qualified translator, I'm still at it!
