I am a full-time German to English translator. This blog is my creative outlet to share my knowledge and random musings. Despite the title of my blog, I am generally available for translation work – even if there might be a delay of a few days. You can contact me at gertoeng AT jill-sommer.com.

I’ve caught myself doing that in the U-Bahn once or twice. I guess that’s called sleep commuting then.
