Applied Linguist. Interculturalist. Linguistic Coach. Transcreator. Multilingual. Multipassionate. I usually have to go into explanations of what it is I do. Well it is complicated, then again it is not. It all has to do with Applied linguistics. It concerns all practical applications of language use - learning and development theory, instructional design, language acquisition, translation and interpreting, communication and the list goes on. I have had the chance to do all of those at one stage or another in my working life. I do literary translation, spent time teaching business English and business communication and have worked for multinational organizations as well. I do competence assessment, language testing, training, and also do Neurolanguage coaching. I combine my business experience with my passion for languages and love the practical applications of linguistics - hence the interest in literary translation and intercultural communication. I do all the above to help people understand each other better and communicate their ideas. http://www.marianninterculturalist.com/
