freelance translator, interpreter and editor

translations and interpretation

experienced, university trained and skilled translator and interpreter for German (A), Slovenian (B) and Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian (C) as well as English (C, translations only); editor/proofreader for translations into German and German text; language trainer for adults (teaching Slovenian).

In fact, I've started to work as freelance translator in 1997 (already starting as student, encouraged by my teachers, who also assigned to me my first real translation jobs) and kept on working as freelancer also while I was working as part-time employee (see below), but since 01.01.2001 I'm working exclusively as freelance translator, interpreter, editor and language trainer.
