Summary
English is my first language. I have studied it and used it at every level of my education and in my work around the world. I have also learned Portuguese, Spanish and Italian and can read a good deal of French. I prefer to translate from these languages into English. I am confident my English translations will be both faithful and beautiful. I would like to work remotely, to have texts sent to me at home, where I can work on them at the necessary pace. I am retired, and want to stay active and make a little extra money too.
