About me - English
Hello! My name is Nikola Petrov, and I am a professional translator and interpreter with a degree in translation for German and English. Aside from those two languages, I also speak Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian fluently, as I was raised in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
My passion for languages developed as a kid, and has only been growing more and more throughout the years. I also worked as a nurse in the ICU for 5 years, so I am good at working under stress.
Qualifications & Experience
Degree in translation for German and English, multiple language courses in German, mostly for clinics and other businesses that had employees who needed tutoring for the B2 language test.
My professional experience includes 7 years of freelance translation and close to 3 years of tutoring for businesses.
Teaching Approach
My courses are fully adaptable to all levels of prior knowledge and desired levels of proficiency.
I believe that, in order to truly learn a language, one must use it as much as possible and even think in the target language. To help with this, we will be using various resources such as books, comics, podcasts, radio, etc...
Hallo! Mein Name ist Nikola Petrov, und ich bin ein professioneller Übersetzer und Dolmetscher mit einem Bachelor in Übersetzung und Dolmetschen für Englisch und Deutsch. Dazu spreche ich auch fließendes Kroatisch/Serbisch/Bosnisch, da ich im Süden von Bosnien und Herzegowina aufgewachsen bin.
Meine Liebe für Sprachen hat sich schon in meiner Jugend entwickelt, und ist nur größer geworden durch die Jahre hinweg. Ich war auch 5 Jahre lang als Krankenpfleger auf der Intensivstation tätig, also ist mir Arbeit unter Stress nicht fremd.
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelorabschluss im Übersetzen und Dolmetschen für Englisch und Deutsch, mehrere Sprachkurse für Deutsch, meistens für Kliniken und andere Firmen für die Vorbereitung auf die B2 Prüfung.
Meine professionelle Erfahrung beinhaltet 7 Jahre als freiberuflicher Übersetzer und fast 3 Jahre Arbeit als Tutor für diverse Firmen.
Teaching Approach
Meine Kurse sind vollkommen anpassbar für jegliche Kenntnisstände und -wünsche.
Ich glaube, um eine Sprache wirklich zu lernen, muss man sie so oft wie möglich verwenden und sogar in der Zielsprache denken. Um dabei zu helfen, werden wir verschiedene Ressourcen wie Bücher, Comics, Podcasts, Radio usw. verwenden.
Dobar dan! Moje ime je Nikola Petrov, i ja sam profesionalni prevodioc i tumač sa diplomom u prevođenju engleskog i njemačkog jezika. Pored tih jezika takođe pričam i hrvatski/srpski/bosanski jezik, što potiče od mog djetinstva provedeno u jugu Bosne i Hercegovine.
Moja ljubav prema jezicima se pojavila već u djetinstvu, a od tada je samo postala veća kroz godine. Pored jezika sam radio 5 godina kao medicinski tehničar na intenzivnoj njezi, tako da mi stres na poslu nije nepoznati pojam.
Qualifications & Experience
Fakultetski obrazovani prevodioc i tumač za engleski i njemački sa mnoštvom kurseva za njemački jezik, većinom za klinike i druge firme kojima je trebala priprema za B2 ispit njemačkog jezika.
Moje profesionalno iskustvo uključuje 7 godina prevođenja i blizu 3 godine kurseva za raznovrsne firme.
Teaching Approach
Moji kursevi su potpuno promjenljivi zaviseći od prijašnjeg znanja jezika i nivoa znanja jezika koji želite postići.
Vjerujem da da biste zaista naučili jezik, morate ga koristiti što je više moguće, pa čak i razmišljati na ciljnom jeziku. Da bi vam pomogao u tome, koristit ćemo razne resurse kao što su knjige, stripovi, podcastovi, radio itd.
