Languages have fascinated me since I took my first English class in the 4th grade back in Slovenia. Growing up in former Yugoslavia, I was surrounded by other languages, and I learnt Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian languages, in addition to my native Slovene. I enjoy the intricacies of translating an idea from one language into another. Even when the content is…mhm…less than interesting, like…instructions for use of medical devices…or…less intellectually challenging, like…well…marriage certificates…I focus on the language, on how to find just the right term, just the right sentence structure in the target language.
I love to move and write…
