My name is Joel, and I’m a professional Spanish <> English interpreter and translator. Linguistically speaking Spanish is my first love and will always have a special place in my heart, but since beginning to study it in 2010, I have since learned Brazilian Portuguese to fluency and French to a conversational level. I think bilingualism is an ability that anyone who is willing and has access to the right resources can achieve, which is why I’m so passionate about low cost and free language learning resources, like Memrise.
