Languages are second nature to me. My dominant languages are English, Portuguese and Spanish, but my arsenal includes some Portuguese Creole, Dutch, French and Amharic (Official language of Ethiopia, where I grew up).
Though English is my first/native language, my parents (both being from Portuguese speaking countries) ensured that I learned the language as well. With domain over Portuguese, it was rather easy to segue into Spanish due to the similarities.
Working in an Embassy environment, I am made to do many write-ups, including translations, note verbales, and official letters, among others. My language skills are constantly being used, and therefore improved as are my writing skills.
