I graduated in Law from the University of Bedfordshire in 2004. After working for the National Health Service for 1 year, I decided to live in West Africa for 1 year. On my return to the UK I completed a master's degree in Intellectual Property Law. I then worked in local government for 1 year and decided that I no longer wanted to live in the UK. At this point, I completed my TEFL and went to live in South East Asia. This is where I am now, I'm currently a lecturer of English at Build Bright University in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from William Lake

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and riffle their pockets for new vocabulary. James Nicoll
