Author of 8 language books, Grad work in translation & linguistics
Editor
I'm thrilled to be part of Kwiziq and to share my language expertise. I've been teaching online since '99, and am passionate about language, travel, and cooking. I speak fluent French, conversational Spanish and Italian, some Greek, and a bit of Darija (Moroccan Arabic).
I'm the creator of LawlessFrench.com - LawlessSpanish.com - LawlessItalian.com and the author or co-author of eight books on French and Spanish. (I also have sites about English and vegetarianism.)
I'm American by birth and a permanent ex-pat by choice - freelancing made it possible to travel extensively and live in several countries before settling permanently in Guadeloupe.
