My mum wanted me to study English, but I didn’t like it. I left the course after two months and got a job as a bike messenger. I’m lucky because I have been successful and we can pay for my father to come to England too. I usually go back to Poznań every summer to see friends and family. But I’m not going next year because I met a Turkish girl here in London – and we’re getting married! Adam is living in London now.

Erica Luetzow has worked as an interpreter for twenty years and is fluent in Spanish. At present, she runs a freelance translation and interpretation business in Raleigh, North Carolina. ‘While I was in college on a language course in Mexico, I had the opportunity to train as a conference interpreter,’ says Erica. ‘The course finished and I moved back to the USA. I began working as a volunteer interpreter.’ ‘As the demand for translation and interpretation services grew in my hometown of Raleigh,’ she continues, ‘I used my bilingual skills to start my own translation and interpretation business.’ Erica enjoys the variety of work, people and opportunities that her interpretation job includes. ‘I’ve never been bored so far,’ she says. ‘I’ve even written a book about interpreting!’ Erica is still working as an interpreter now.
