Guten Tag! Bonjour! Hello! My name is Marion Reuter. I grew up in southern Germany, studied social work, gathered some professional experience, and eventually packed my bags and headed to Paris in 1993.<\/p>\n
After 27 years in France I understand all levels of written and spoken French and speak like a native. With Paris being such an international city, I have also managed to maintain and even improve my English. People who hear me speak often mistake me for a Brit (maybe because I look like one? ;-).<\/p>\n
Over the past two decades I have worked in a variety of professional environments, including: a city youth agency, a Franco-German association, a small DYI business, an international organization, and a global corporation in the IT field. For several years, I have run my own business as an intercultural consultant and have helped the families of foreign executives get settled in Paris.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the time came for me to combine my intercultural knowledge with my love for languages, and to earn an M.A. in translation from ESIT in Paris. I now work as a freelance translator for agencies and direct clients.<\/p>\n
Living in a different country for so long has opened my mind to the very different ways in which people think. It has taught me to look at a text closely and take into account all the cultural background that is implicitly present when a person expresses himself or herself.<\/p>\n
If you’d like more information or are interested in a quote for a translation project, I’d be happy to hear from you by email or by telephone.<\/p>\n
Thanks for your visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
