Occupation: Translator/Interpreter, Free-lancing Teacher of Languages and Economics
Born in Germany on 28 May 1971 on a small island called Foehr in the very north (Schleswig-Holstein) of Germany, I first didn't know where the ways of destiny would lead me to.... (oh, how theatrical.... )
I'm male, aged 37, living together with my girlfriend somewhere between Bremen and Hamburg in a village...happily...with all worries, hopes and delights one could have.....I'm North German by nature...maybe you'll get to know (positively, so I hope), what this means in my forthcoming postings.
Interested in languages, I decided to become a translator/interpreter in English/German/French about nine years ago...and I succeeded (fortunately). Unfortunately, however, I didn't get a job in my profession, so I had to begin studies in Economics in Bremen, Germany. Up to now I've been making my 24-7 by working as a free-lancing teacher to get my money....while studying....and being a businessman alongside...tried some things...more or less successful!
Interested also in: Culture, languages, people and their mentalities, railways, taking photographs, maintaining my "new" second hand Renault 19 car (presented on my homepage) by myself, and good music (which is a matter of taste and age, I know).

well, originally I meant that they didn't force but made the others "accept their opinions", i.e. "they persuaded them". So "to prevail" was... (view)
