Just Love: A Mémoire: Becoming a Conference Interpreter and Living an International Life

This book is a love story-one not of romance, but of a lifelong devotion that has shaped every part of my life: my passion for languages. Just Love traces my journey from a language-obsessed child to a professional conference interpreter working on the global stage. It's about how words became my world-and how language, in all its beauty and complexity, became both my career and my calling. From the very beginning, the sound of foreign words stirred my imagination. Every new language felt like unlocking a secret doorway into another culture, another way of thinking. I spent countless hours with grammar books, vocabulary lists, and audio recordings-not out of obligation, but out of deep affection. Learning languages became my personal love affair, a dialogue between myself and the world. Of course, like all love stories, it hasn't always been easy. Irregular verbs, complex tenses, and especially classical Arabic pushed my patience and abilities to the limit. But those challenges only deepened my commitment and strengthened my skills. Eventually, conference interpreting emerged as the perfect expression of my passion-a profession where language becomes the bridge between cultures, ideas, and people in real time. This book is both a memoir and an invitation. It's a window into the joys and challenges of living a life through languages, and a call to others who feel the pull of words. I hope it inspires readers to embrace their own love of language, to see communication not just as a skill, but as a powerful, unifying force. Just Love is my tribute to the magic of human connection-and to the languages that make it possible.
