Services for Languages & Lingo

I have been translating and proofreading documents for most part of my life being trained in my father’s office, who works as a sworn translator and interpreter in Munich in the aforementioned language pairs (court, police, customs). Thus, I was capable to develop an in-depth knowledge of jargon for banking, insurance, laws, legal counsel, as well as customs. Additionally, in recent years I was able to sharpen my interpreting skills in the educative field. I also worked as freelance teacher of German as a foreign language. I was raised tri-lingual and have extensively been using all three languages fluently for over 20 years (in written and spoken form). My primary aim is maintaining the progressive flow and naturalness of the target language, bringing to the fore and highlighting the concept of each topic / sector, including comprehensive research for precision in terminology use. Additionally, I consider the target language in light of its culture, which enables me to translate and proofread / edit efficiently and with pointed accuracy. Each translation is individually proofread and edited thoroughly by checking for accurate use of jargon, grammar, and spelling.

I have been teaching and coaching students from all backgrounds and age groups. Before every
lesson, careful preparation on how to present and explain the given material as well as using a variety of teaching methods, have enabled me to motivate my students, to understand the value of languages and to combine learning/ studying languages with fun. Thus, I also have been teaching and coaching successfully German as well as Turkish. This line of work helps me to make more progress as a linguist in my developed language skills (vocabulary, grammar and spelling).
