Willie Watson	Helena Watson

Willie Watson is originally from Des Moines, Iowa, USA, but that was a very long time ago. He has lived in New York City, Seattle and Los Angeles, as well as Israel, France (Paris), Wales and England (London). Throughout his rather erratic course of studies, he has majored in linguistics and journalism. In addition to English, he speaks (badly) French, Hebrew, Spanish, Italian and German and is struggling to learn Czech. He is the author of two volumes of poetry, "Poems from Prague" and "The Guru Kalehuru and Other Poems." He has lived in Prague since March of 1998.

Helena Watson is originally from Nova Paka, and moved to Prague to attend Charles University in 1994, where she majored in Spanish Language and Spanish and South American Literature. She was working at Berlitz Language Schools in 2000, teaching Czech, Polish and Spanish when she met Willie at a friend's birthday party. She is the schools administrator and also does translations (see Translation services).
