Louise Correcha

Hello, I'm Louise. My journey with languages other than English began when I was 16 and spent a year living as an exchange student in the Czech Republic. I became fluent in Czech, started learning Spanish through Czech, and discovered a talent and love for languages.

My life since then has revolved around languages, whether through my studies in linguistics and Russian (with a stint at Moscow State University), to my professional training and experience working as an English language teacher and coordinator of adult language and literacy programs. I then went on to co-found Red English with Julian in 2008 and deliver private language coaching and training for several years before moving into technical documentation, editing and copywriting across fields including engineering, resources, renewable energy, IT and marketing.

As current head of technical and business writing at Hummingbird Writing, I write and edit business documents such as case studies, reports and manuals, and I complement this with co-authoring Spanish-learning resources and translating business and technical documents through Red English.

I literally live, love and breathe languages. As a translator, I think deeply about each choice I make and apply my linguistic, writing and editing expertise to ensure thoroughly professional, quality translations.
