Frank Vlaeminck
Professional Dutch / English translator and trainer
I am passionate about the English language. Already as a young boy the love for English had been instilled in me and in my early teens the works of D.H. Lawrence, Ch. Dickens, and A. Trollope were on the kitchen table alongside The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. Literature in a foreign language was an integral part of the wonder years and I have always held on to that sentiment as English kept playing an important role, both professionally and in my personal life.
