No sleep 'til... BROOKLYN

I'm (mostly) a website translator, I'm also a proofreader and writer. I grew up between Brooklyn and San Juan, P.R; my wife is French. I'm completely trilingual, English, Spanish and French, I'm fluent in Italian, Portuguese and some German, although it's by far my weakest. My daughters 9 and 4 are already trilingual, my wife talks to them exclusively in French, I'm the English and Spanish pusher. We now have a 1 month old baby that will most certainly come around too. One thing I love about it is that when I read, I can pick the book in it's original language, not a water down version of some translator which sometimes I think I would've done a better job at it myself. When we travel I can pick up jokes and little things that most tourist would be oblivious to, this can also save you money and lot's of troubles.
BTW, I should have mentioned that I have lived in P.R. South America, U.S.A., more than one state and in Europe, more than one country.
