I have invested around twelve years of my life into the study of English, the culture of it's speakers, their idiosincracy and worldview. I have soaked myself up in their language and use it daily, both for work and for leisure. I pride myself for not only knowing the language from which (and to which) I translate, but also for knowing the language speaker's and, thus, being able to determine which option is the most suitable on a case by case basis.
