English - Russian translation & interpreting
The highlight of my interpreting career has been meeting Mr and Mrs Mikhail Gorbachev during their visit to Aberdeen in December 1993 and interpreting for them at the "Freedom of Aberdeen" Award ceremony.
Russian language teaching
This is a photo of my students in Russian Beginners class learning the subject of food in Russian.
Cheese was produced, and kindly provided, by my student Richard (on the left), a Dairy Farmer, at his own farm in Aberdeenshire.
I am happy to report that all the students found the lesson and the tasty props extremely satisfactory!
