I lived in Argentina and Brazil for 10 years and speak both Portuguese and Spanish well. As part of my daily work in the Embassies where I worked, I had to translate between Spanish/Portuguese and English. This entailed contracts, office memos and just about any document that had to be available for both the Latin and English reader in my work environment.

During the last 15 years I have been working in an aircraft technical environment as aircraft technician.

All the while I have been keeping up to date with both Spanish and Portuguese by keeping contact with friends in South America.
