About me

I live in Amman and I have translated between Arabic and English for twelve years, mostly stories, articles and a few books for small publishers. I began at a kitchen table with one borrowed dictionary and a great many crossed-out lines. I learned most of what I know by translating the same page again, a week later, and seeing what had changed.

Now I teach it. The letters come from my desk, in plain words, one hard sentence at a time. What I sell are the things I wished I had at the start: worksheets for drafting and revising, a glossary to print and fill in, a pack of short texts to practise on, and two video courses, one for your first text and one for taking it to your first work. I do not translate texts for other people through this site. I teach you how to start and keep going.
