Love to Languages

Bernard Berg, Professor of Linguistics, started as an English language teacher.
He was always good at languages at school, so he decided to take his degree in
French and German first. When he finished his university studies in Oxford he began
teaching in a secondary school in England. Two years later, however, he met
someone by chance who offered him a job teaching English to foreign students
during the long summer holidays. His students were adults and he enjoyed the
work greatly. He soon found he was interested in languages of different countries.
Since then he has specialized in this work.
First he went to Africa for two years and then he spent a year in Spain. After
that he went to Italy where he worked for three years. He hasn’t been to South
America yet but he plans to go there next. He has taught men and women of all ages
and of all nationalities. He has also learnt to get on with people of all walks of
life. Now he is a writer but his interest in foreign languages never lessens.
