Although not my mother tongue, I have spoken Italian fluently for more than 10 years so I am very confident to answer any questions about the Italian language. I am also competent in Roman Dialect if there are any questions relating to this.
I received an A* in my GCSE and completed my A Level in 1 year with a Level A ranking me as the top Italian student in the country. Degree in Modern Foreign Languages (English, Spanish, Italian, French) Carried out many translation jobs for a wide range of clients and topics including self-help, literature and exam papers. For personal reference, I have also translated Federico Moccia's Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo and 2 of Francesco Totti's book.
