Expert Profile: Kevin Johnson

Expertise: I grew up and live in Germany, so I can answer questions on the German language, culture, current events, politics and style. My field of work is science, so I will also be able to answer questions regarding technical vocabulary. I will not do translations of more than approx. half a page (typewritten), though.

Experience in the area
I lived all my life in Germany. I have a strong lifelong interest in languages.
