ABOUT SPRÅKVÄXELN

My name is Erik MacQueen, and I run Språkväxeln. I have a two-year M.A. degree in translation from Uppsala University. I majored in History of Ideas at the undergraduate level, with minors in English and Swedish.

I grew up in a bi-lingual home, my father American and my mother Swedish, and I find my background very valuable in translation and copywriting. This is not just about language skills – a bi-lingual environment is often a bi-cultural one, a circumstance that has lent me an awareness of different cultural codes.

Aside from my work with Språkväxeln, I write songs on my own in English, and in the duo Glöden in Swedish.
