Background:

I have a Degree in Law (Università degli Studi “la Sapienza”, Italy) and a High School Diploma in Accountancy. I was employed as an accountant in the City Council of Rome (Italy). I spent long holydays in Ireland and in London, then lived (1993) in France, on the Côte d’Azur. My knowledge of English and French is mainly due to on site full-immersion supported by lots of reading (all the classics and many contemporary writers; newspapers, magazines, comics), movies, correspondence exchange and a bit of regular language courses for grammar skills.

Now I’m living and working in Barcelona, where I honed my Spanish and immersed myself in the study and practice of the Catalan language. For both Spanish and Catalan I have Diplomas from the Barcelona “Escuela Oficial de Idiomas”.
