Conference Interpreter for German and English <\/span><\/h2>\n

May I introduce myself? My name is Catleen Gr\u00f6tschel. I\u2019m a Berliner, book worm, and passionate conference interpreter.<\/p>\n

From the first time I saw simultaneous interpreters<\/a> at work, I knew I had found my calling. Since completing my professional qualifications, the M. A. in Conference Interpretation, I have been working as a freelance interpreter in Berlin and other parts of Germany.<\/p>\n

I still love the challenges that are built into the work of a simultaneous interpreter and that have made this job so appealing in the first place. I also appreciate getting to engage with such a large variety of fields and topics \u2013 and I get to learn something new when preparing for every single assignment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1552488164527{margin-top: 120px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-8″][vc_single_image image=”1969″ img_size=”462×344″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1705067956969{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1552569564649{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1552569569753{margin-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_text_separator title=”” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-graduation-cap” i_color=”custom” color=”custom” border_width=”2″ add_icon=”true” i_custom_color=”#2ec2ce” accent_color=”#2ec2ce”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

My Qualifications as a Conference Interpreter <\/span><\/h2>\n

I studied English and French literature at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, spending a total of four years there. During this time, I also spent some time in French-speaking countries: As an au-pair with a French family in Toulouse and as an exchange student in Belgium at the Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles.<\/p>\n

The consequences of spending so much time in the UK are still noticeable today: I have acquired a habit of drinking several cups of tea with milk every day and of expressing myself idiomatically in English.<\/p>\n

By the way: I have not adopted a Scottish accent, as much as I love it.<\/p>\n

I completed my M. A. in Conference Interpretation with the working languages German, English and French at the University of Heidelberg in Germany.<\/p>\n

How to recognise a professional conference interpreter <\/span><\/h3>\n

The title \u2018interpreter\u2019 or \u2018conference interpreter\u2019 is not protected. In theory, anybody can call themselves a conference interpreter regardless of their language skills and qualifications. However, my degree in conference interpreting and my membership of the German Association of Conference Interpreters<\/a> (VKD) are indicators of quality on which you can rely. I have been trained in the languages and services I offer and adhere to the standards defined by the professional association of conference interpreters. I also have several years of experience as a simultaneous interpreter. I am therefore familiar with many different settings and fields and I know how to navigate even the trickiest situation and the fastest speaker.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”Request quote” shape=”square” color=”turquoise” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcg-dolmetschen.de%2Fkontakt%2F|title:%5B%3Ade%5DKontakt%5B%3Aen%5DContact%5B%3A%5D”][\/vc_column]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
