Statement: I have 38 years’ experience working as a UK government linguist and political researcher. My primary language for over the past 30 years has been Arabic, but I have also lengthy professional experience working from French and Spanish – I am accredited as an ACIL in these languages – as well as from Italian, Farsi, Romanian and Portuguese. The spoken Arabic dialects I am most familiar with are Levantine and Egyptian. I am also willing to tackle topics other than those listed as my specialities above.
