How many languages do you speak?
"I speak Swedish, German, and some Polish. I have a very happy and personal relationship to Swedish and use it most in my daily life. I have an academic and respectful relationship to German, so it would be impossible to choose my favorite!"
What is your typical day like as a translator?
"I had so many different and fascinating projects as a translator this past fall — I helped cast the actresses for the Swedish market cosmetics commercials, I translated copy for a mobile app called textPlus, and I taught Swedish and German to both kids and adults. No matter what, I always try to update my Germanic languages blog during my lunch hour. I’m constantly on the lookout for my next language adventure!"
