- About: Hi, I'm Emanuel. I was born in Saarbrücken, Germany, on the French border. I grew up with German and French, and the the first time I was exposed to English was during a visit to New York, when I was five. (I got to see "Star Wars", but the only characters I could understand where R2-D2 and Chewbacca!) At age twelve, we briefly relocated to Houston, Texas, and from there to Frankfurt, Germany. After school, I moved to LA. I currently work as a freelance journalist, translator and language tutor. I've translated movie subtitles, as well as over ten novels, and I've written hundreds of articles for German news media. I'm going back to school for a double major in Linguistics and Journalism. I firmly believe that German is as beautiful as it is user-friendly. Pronunciation is extremely easy, and the rules are common sense! Learning German will give you a better understanding of other languages, it will enrich your life and it's fun!
