BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

My multicultural journey began in Japan and expanded through life and education in Belgium and Switzerland. Raised in a multilingual environment, I completed English-medium education through high school and pursued undergraduate studies in Japan, further enhancing my skills through study programs across Europe and Asia.

One of my standout achievements is mastering Korean to a near-native level through deep cultural immersion, rigorous study, and daily business interactions spanning over a decade. This unique journey shaped my approach to language learning, combining immersive practice with structured methodology.

Professionally, I worked as a sales representative for a major trading company, managing international projects and negotiating in multiple languages daily. This hands-on experience in cross-cultural business communication forms the foundation of my expertise as a translator and localization specialist.

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION JOURNEY

My language learning journey is guided by four key principles:

  • Immersive learning through extended stays in target countries
  • Systematic self-study methodologies developed over 15+ years
  • Active language use in daily business negotiations and interactions
  • Cultural engagement through media, literature, and social connections
