Author Information

(1) ENGLISH / (2) FRANÇAIS (1) ENGLISH I am a freelance English teacher and an English-French/French-English translator. I teach the staff from international companies. My students' problems and mistakes, as well as an old, deep-seated passion for words, have inspired me to write and publish this work, and to start a project for a collection. My mother's side of the family are British and my father's side are French-speakers with Italian origins - which makes me a true hybrid, hence the idea of writing 100% bilingual, theme-based, comprehensive, easy-to-use material to help learners speak some real, up-to-date, authentic, precise and subtle language. (2) FRANÇAIS Je suis formatrice d'anglais en free-lance et traductrice anglais-français/français-anglais. J'enseigne au personnel d'entreprises internationales. Les difficultés et les erreurs de mes stagiaires, ainsi qu'une vieille et profonde passion pour les mots, m'ont donné l'idée d'écrire et de publier cet ouvrage, et de lancer un projet de collection. Le côté maternel de ma famille est britannique et le côté paternel est francophone avec des origines italiennes - ce qui fait de moi une véritable hybride, d'où l'idée de rédiger des supports thématiques aussi complets que possible, 100% bilingues et simples d'utilisation, dans l'optique de faciliter l'accès à un langage contemporain, riche, subtil, vivant et authentique.
