I have been working as a German translator for the past 7 years (with two years interpretation experience). Briefly, I will outline some of my qualifications and their relevance.
I was born in Germany, where I spent the first 20 years of my life. German, then, is my mother tongue and I am completely fluent in all aspects of the language. In addition, I acquired fluency in English and Hebrew. After moving to Israel, I received a B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies and Political Science from the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel (the language of instruction was Hebrew). The university placed significant emphasis on language skills, and it was
there that I acquired working knowledge of French and Arabic.
As I was born and raised bilingually in Germany - I am fluent in both languages - in reading, writing as well as in speaking. This allows me to translate accurately and analogously. My maturity and eagerness to do a great job will make me an excellent linguist.
Since I only work on medical translations, I am able to provide my clients with high-quality medical translations with accurate terminology. I keep an extensive glossary with relevant terms and read medical articles to acquire additional terminology and phraseology.
Being Slovene and having studied Slavic Studies and American Studies in Berlin, Germany (B.A., at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin), I am fluent in written and spoken English, German, Slovene, and Bosnian/ Croatian/ Serbian (former "Serbocroatian"). In addition, I am able to translate and interpret from and into the above listed languages (with Slovene and English as best target languages), can proofread texts written in Slovene, teach English (as a foreign language), and am familiar with the histories and cultures of the USA, Germany, Middle Europe, and of the Balkans (I also lived in all of these areas for extended periods of time).
