Greetings!
My name is Edwin John Sain. Anyone reading my CV will notice that there is a number of cultures in my origins, my upbringing and accompanying me on my life path. I have lived in Cologne with my German partner for over a decade, after growing up and living in Australia as a bilingual English/ Italian (Venetian) speaker.
That, together with my Slovene and Croatian family background, probably explains my interest in and passion for intercultural communication and language study. This also includes having studied Russian at the University of Melbourne and studying official Slovene, Croatian and Portuguese as an autodidact. However all this took a back seat after meeting my partner some years ago, when the focus turned to studying and learning German as well.

In Germany I have mainly worked as a translator translating from German to English, particularly in the area of medicine and medical information services. This includes more than seven years of regular translation for DocCheck's newsletter and medical information website.
I also enthusiastically accept requests for Slovenian to English, Italian to English and Russian to English translations. When it comes to English lessons my approach is flexible, individualised and interactive.

Whether it be translations, proofreading, English lessons or other language assistance, all are provided with the utmost flexibility regarding times and pay rates and methods. Bitcoins are accepted as payment, since I strive to support alternative economy options and in particular seek to cooperate with others who work to make the world a more democratic place. To arrange lessons or meetings for English conversation feel free to contact me!
