About MeHello! My name is John Goode, and I am a freelance conference interpreter and translator with several years experience, living and working in Berlin. I translate from French, Italian, Spanish, and German into English, and I interpret from French and Italian into English. My areas of specialisation are the creative industries (advertising, PR, marketing, fashion) and politics and international development.

Work History |
In the years after completing my BA in French and Italian in 2005, I worked in PR in London, Event Management in New York, and for a top lifestyle magazine in Madrid. However, my passion for languages led me back to the UK where I completed an MA in Conference Interpreting and Translation Studies at the University of Leeds, graduating with Merit in 2013. Since then I have been living and working in Berlin, and steadily building my client list, which includes the BBC, Orange, Société Générale, and The Guardian newspaper.*

My Philosophy |
I live and breathe languages. For some people it is maths and science that come naturally. I however, am a born linguist. It is in my blood (although that is not to say It hasn't taken years of study to reach the level I'm at today). Translation is not just my job, it is my one true passion, and I treat every project with precision, professionalism, sensitivity, and flair.
