Learning foreign languages has been my hobby, career, business and passion for over thirty years. I started with English, then French, German and Italian. I then went for Portuguese and in March 2007 I started studying Japanese. My mother tongue is Spanish. Knowing foreign languages is a precious asset for me. I use them at work on a daily basis! I have learned foreign languages mostly on my own, but also with private tutors and in small group courses. At University I did History in Madrid (Spain) as a first degree, and then I did a masters in English Literature in the UK. I set up in business in 1994. At first I taught Spanish and did Spanish translations. Then, while still teaching, I wrote two language learning publications: Learn Spanish At Your Own Pace (book 2 CDs) and Spanish for Beginners CD-ROM. In 2003 we launched our first website, www.spanish-online.co.uk. Soon the language-bookworld.com cluster of websites was developed and I now work full time on our seven sites, forum, blog and Squidoo lenses.
