I have always been brought up bilingually with both English and Spanish, as my father is British and my mother is South American. I also speak a very high standard of Portuguese and French. I have a BA in Hispanic Studies (2.1) from Swansea University in Wales, which most notably includes a Disntinction in Portuguese Oral Proficiency. I have an MA in Translation with Language Technology, also from Swansea University, which involved a mixture of Spanish and French. As part of my degree, I lived in Zaragoza in Aragon, Northeast Spain, for a year and studied in its prestigious university. Aswell as travelling extensively around Spain, I have visited Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Portugal, USA, Costa Rica, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Through visiting many of those countries, I have been able to practise my language skills to a quite considerable extent.
