I can translate for you!
Hello !
I have seen quiet a few programmes on the cable BBC on people coming to France, who love the country, the food, the wine and the people, but who can't speak enough french to get themselves understood. I have been living in France for 25 years now, in Rouen Normandy, and speak fluently even the slang! Seeing how some people are " lost for words"... I am proposing my services for any transactions that you may need a translater for. You never know when the ' we get by...' speaking will not be enough. I am advertising on the expat site as I don't do this oficially, I am a musician/singer and travel around quite a bit. I have often helped people out, hearing them looking for their way or just trying to be understood when they just can't seem to get through. I was in the same position myself, when I came to France, but as I did'nt know any English people I had to learn the language very quickly! I will study any propositions to try and help you out so please don't hesitate to contact me! Hope to hear from you soon.
