Across the Oceans, Across the Net...
Ciao a te!
I am an ESL teacher and interpreter. My native language is Italian, but I also speak English and French. I have a grasp of European Literature, art history, and i love U.S. History, geography, and literature.
I have worked about ten years teaching English and French and translating texts. Now i am working online too it's loads of fun. Wikipedia gives me a break from my routine and is a great way to share ideas with folks who put value on culture regardless of national boundaries.
I started learning English when i was 14, and i have not stopped ever since! The internet revolution which many people in Europe still regard with mistrust has given me more tools to broaden my horizons than i could have possibly had in any other ways, and here i am, trying to give something back, however little, in the English, French and Italian sections of Wiki.
Many people can buy into the media clichés when they do not speak the language of a foreign country or can't get in touch with their people. Only a worldwide non-profit, multi-lingual project has the power to reach across the oceans, and tear down the walls that sometimes divide us. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you.
Good luck with your work and check back often!
