LANGUAGES
SPOKEN
English mother tongue. Fluent
Spanish.
NB. The gaps in my
working career between the summer of 1999 and 2002 can be accounted for by
house husbandry and fatherhood (my second child was born at that time),
adapting to life in Spain and various posts as a teacher of English as a
foreign language.
