Liesbeth as translator

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by London and English history. These interests have led me to read English books since childhood. Indeed an acceptable way to enhance your understanding of a foreign language, but I wanted to improve my English language use. Over the years, I have followed various studies and courses to achieve this. In 2013, I received my Bachelor of Communication Degree in English Translations. In 2014, I officially started working as a translator with my company LtB-Translations.

I began working on different types of texts to gain experience. However, it turned out that I enjoy working on translations where I can apply my knowledge of and interest in English history, London, and art. That is why I mainly focus on translations in the field of (English) history, and history of art and costumes.
