Italian Language/Expert Profile
Expertise
I love English and Italian is my mother tongue. I am particularly fond of precision in translation, and I always try to pay attention not only in giving the correct correspondance to words but also to render the sense of what I translate.
Experience in the area
I took and passed Cambridge University Proficiency in English as a Foreign Language examination. I have always been reading romances in English and English literature. Being an Engineer I also have a wide technical vocabulary, especially regarding environmental, civil and construction engineering.
Education/Credentials
Cambridge University - Proficency in English as a Foreign Language MS degree in Environmental Engineering
