Yet I am sure I wrote it in plain good ol' English...
Learning a language different from your mother tongue can be a daunting task. There is only one way to do it: get an education and then go out there and learn from the locals! Oh, it helps if you are a bookworm, too.
This is exactly what I offer: a solid educational background (Honor's BA in Economics, BA in Translation and Interpreting, ESOL certificate: level C2 - Mastery) plus 25 years spent in English-speaking working environments. My hobby: reading contemporary U.S. literature (K. Vonnegut, J. Diamond) and as many newspapers as I can fit in a day's routine (from The Economist to The Guardian, Newsweek to Wired, CNN to the BBC). I love comic books, too :)
Think about it next time you care about how your Business English material will be translated from American or British English to Italian or how your website will be localized in Italian...and then please do not hesitate to contact me! I offer competitive rates, respect of deadlines and high customer satisfaction levels.
I am looking forward to hearing from you - or drop me a WhatsApp, like the cool youngsters do nowadays :)
Best regards,
Lorenzo Pilati
