Founded by Sosthene Mikala, Genuine Language Services was started to assist organizations in providing French instruction to their staff but expanded to incorporate translation and interpretation in their line of services.  Sosthene, a native French speaker from Gabon, Central Africa, has taught, translated and interpreted for over 15 years, for both the public and private sectors. His expertise and integrity earned him work with the U.S. State Department assisting with interpretation and translation in the Antiterrorism Assistance Unit.  Sosthene is especially devoted to providing trustworthy and honest support to individuals needing help with official documents.  As a result of Sosthene’s excellent reputation and professional values, Genuine Language Services has also provided services to the United Nations, UN Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, African Leaders Malaria Alliance, and various law firms and court systems throughout the New York/New Jersey area.
