Mery Looze

Born and raised in a trilingual country, I started learning languages other than French at a very young age. Languages have always been my passion, that is the reason why I decided to study English and German literature and linguistics at university. I got my bachelor degree in June 2004. Since then, I have been trying to acquire a basic knowledge of Japanese, Mandarin, Italian, Czech and Turkish, mostly here on Phrasebase. I started being a French translator on Phrasebase at the end of 2004. Besides that work, I now recruit and train language administrators for the site. If you are interested in joining our team, please e-mail me at french AT phrasebase DOT com for information. Thanks!
