I have studied the German language since 12 years of age and currently live in New Zealand and am a native English speaker. I have also spent 3 months in school on Exchange in Germany so have relevant cultural experience and experience in a situation of native German fluency. I study at the University of Waikato towards a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in German - International Languages and Cultures. I have completed my 3rd year of German language study, including study in Translation Methodology and Practice in which my final grade was an A. I have experience, therefore, in all translation sectors, in its practice and methodology. I have a passion for languages (also studying Spanish and Japanese) so I will not disappoint you. I am reliable and as a university student, I know how to stick to a deadline; I am one to always hand my assignments in days early.
I prefer not to use translation technology in my translations as I find it leads to unidiomatic translations. Therefore, I use both cultural and technical dictionaries - I have many dictionary options and therefore am able to choose and make use of a dictionary that relates to the translation at hand. As previously stated, it is a subject I have studied in University and passed very well, in this respect I have experience in translating in a professional manner and to a deadline.
I would be happy to be contacted to discuss further details of the translation and any special requests for its translation.
