Profile

I'm Clément.

I've been living in Yaoundé, Cameroon for eight years now and have been enjoying every minute. My native language is French (France) but am also fluent in English and Italian.

I´m passionate about cultures and languages, and only happy when my customers are happy. Did you know that the French language (for the most part) stems from Europe, but the vocabulary also carries influences of various cultures. The language is spoken by many all over the world. Its closest relatives are the French from Canada and French from Belgium and Switzerland and that spoken in many African countries, languages which are spoken by thousand people.

I love to share my knowledge, appreciation and love for the French language, and will always do everything I can to provide you with the best possible translation in the language pairs : English to French and Italian to French. I only accept Translation Orders that I can deliver within the timeframe you require and the quality you expect.

I look forward to assisting you with your next Translation, provided always with local language flavor and flare.

Where I live

The outpost of Epsumb or Jeundo was founded between the Nyong and Sanaga rivers at the northern edge of the area's forests in 1887, 1888, or February 1889 by the German explorers Lt. Kund and Tappenbeck by the agreement of the chiefs of Ela Esono. From December 1889 to May 1895, it was occupied by the German botanist August Georg Zenker as an agricultural research station named Jaunde after the local Yaunde or Ewondo people. His settlement served as a base for the area's rubber and ivory trade, purchasing these from the natives in exchange for imported clothing and iron. It was also known in English as Yaunde Station. Major Dominik's establishment of a military garrison at the site in 1895 permitted a Pallotine mission and religious school at nearby Mvolyé (now a suburb).
During World War I, Jaunde was occupied by Belgian troops from the Congo. After Imperial Germany's defeat in that war, France held eastern Cameroon as a mandate of the League of Nations and Yaoundé was chosen to become the capital of the colony in 1922. Douala long remained the more important settlement, but Yaoundé saw rapid growth after 1957 due to the cocoa crisis and unrest along the coast. It continued as the seat of government for the Republic of Cameroon upon its independence in 1960 and is still the capital until now.
The city centre houses government offices, some hotels, and the central market. The Bastos district, with most homes owned by Cameroonians, is home to foreign embassies and the expatriate European, American and other continental communities (drawn mainly from the diplomatic corps). The presidential palace and compound is in the Etoudi district.
Also found in Yaoundé are:
• the Cathédrale Notre Dame des Victoires, seat of the Archdiocese of Yaoundé
• the Basilique Marie-Reine-des-Apôtres, built on the site of the first missionary church in Cameroon
• the Cameroon Art Museum (located in a former Benedictine monastery)
• the Cameroon National Museum (located in the former presidential palace)
• the Blackitude Museum
• the Afhemi Museum
• the Reunification Monument
• the Sport Palace (Palais des Sports)
• Palais des Congrès
There is a small zoo in the Mvog-Betsi neighbourhood. Yaoundé has a small assortment of Pubs, nightclubs and restaurants.
A distance outside Yaoundé is the NGO Ape Action Africa, which rescues and rehabilitates Great Apes threatened with extinction by the illegal bushmeat and deforestation trades.
