Why Work With a Native Speaker?

Don’t be fooled by my English surname – I took my husband’s name after my marriage in 2012. For the first 33 years of my life, I lived in Germany and did most of my language studies there. If you’re looking for a German proofreader, copy editor, copywriter or tutor, there are various benefits in working with a native speaker like myself.

Advantages for Students

After I’ve proofread your thesis, you can be sure that each and every sentence will sound natural. Not only am I familiar with academic writing techniques, I also understand the cadence and idiomatic forms of the German language. Whilst non-native speakers may be fluent in German and may have spoken the language for years, it’s difficult for them to acquire the subtle nuances – usually, their communication partners wouldn’t correct them, which means that non-native speakers may make the same mistakes over and over without being aware of it.

Advantages for Businesses

Apart from expressing the intended message in grammatically correct terms, I will customise your text for your target audience’s cultural tastes and preferences. As a native German speaker, I can interact with your potential clients on a more meaningful level, because I write with confidence and I know what tone of voice appeals to most of them.

Because I’m up to date with many developments in Germany, I can provide your business with valuable background information about the target market and its cultural norms. This will give you the edge over your competitors, which will eventually translate into sales. In fact, after I had rewritten the German web copy for a British automotive accessories brand, they saw a 47% increase in website conversions within a year. Localisation, i.e. adapting the content to the preferences of their German-speaking clientele, proved to play a major role the company’s success.
