from Vidar Å Johansen, M.Phil.. in German, Norwegian and comparative Religion.
My long years of association with Tor makes it easy for me to affirm his solid knowledge in Norwegian, English and German. His written and oral aptitude in all three languages elevates him from run of the mill translators.
I’ve observed Tor’s uncanny insight into the multifaceted properties of the aforementioned languages. He intuitively responds to the intrinsic rhythms of language.
Perhaps owning to his long exposure to classical music at a professional level, he cherishes the linguistic cadence a translator should possess. Hence his nuanced understudying of Norwegian, English and German is praiseworthy.
