Unsure whether you need a professional translator or an interpreter?

The answer depends on whether you need to communicate in written or spoken form: the translator works with texts, while the interpreter works with the spoken word.

What sets my linguistic combination apart?

Having grown up in Quebec and then studied and worked in Europe, I have an excellent command of both Quebec French (or “Montreal French ”) and standard French. My background gives me a good understanding of cultural references, usage and perception of Anglicisms and the particular position of French in North America.
I am also very comfortable with Canadian and American English. As such, I am in the perfect position to offer English to Quebec French translations  or English to standard French translations. Finally, my bachelor’s degree in German Studies, my master’s degree in Conference Interpreting and the last ten years living in Germany have allowed me to perfect my German. Thanks to my academic background and hobbies I have also become familiar with the Rhenish dialect spoken in Saarland and several Austrian cooking terms.
