What has happened
so far ...
… is a whole range of things of which almost every person having arrived in the middle ages of their lives has already experienced some. This diversity can easily be illustrated by a few hard facts from my CV – even though my CV is a very contemporary one and typical for our modern times: not linear, but all the more varied. Both my foreign languages run like a red thread through all phases of my professional life, and French and English have always been, still are and will remain to be my constant companions.
In addition, I have more than 30 years of overall language experience and over 10 years of professional experience in international development cooperation – both points taken together make up my current professional position.
