Vikramaditya Mathur talks about his experience in Germany:

‘I worked side by side with people of other nationalities and therefore, after I returned home, I learned a few other, mainly European languages, like French and Italian. I believe it’s difficult if you don’t speak the languages in continental Europe – unless you work in the IT sector where all the programmes are in English.’

Lives in: Ahmedabad, India
Country of origin: India
Period in Germany: 1981 in Leverkusen and 1990 to 1991 in Mannheim (for professional reasons)
Occupation: Freelance interpreter (English, German, French, Italian)
