The right words matter.

Communicating accurately and sensitively is vital for any business – because even what seems like the smallest linguistic mistake or cultural faux pax can turn into a serious problem. 

Having an experienced, reliable, specialized linguist by your side means being able to rest assured that your texts will be effective and error-free.

I’m Olav Balslev, a polyglot who lives and breathes languages.
