Bio

After graduating from high school in 2006 I was requiring to travel the Scandinavian world. The first of numerous working visits to Iceland followed and inspired me to delve into the Icelandic language. I had already completed two semesters of Translation Studies at the FASK Germersheim in the meantime, but then moved to Munich to study Scandinavian languages and culture.

I have also been teaching Icelandic for many years.

Over the years I have acquired in-depth knowledge not only of Icelandic but also of Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.


Nach dem Erwerb des Abiturs 2006 war ich neugierig auf die weite Welt; besonders der Norden hatte es mir angetan. Es folgte der erste Arbeitsaufenthalt auf Island, der in mir ein tiefes Interesse für die isländische Sprache weckte. Zwischendurch hatte ich bereits zwei Semester der Übersetzungswissenschaft am FASK Germersheim absolviert, wechselte dann aber nach München, um mich im Rahmen des Studiums eingehend mit den skandinavischen Sprachen und der Kultur auseinanderzusetzen.

Seit vielen Jahren unterrichte ich zudem Isländisch.

Über die Jahre habe ich mir nicht nur vertiefte Kenntnisse des Isländischen angeeignet, sondern auch des Schwedischen, Norwegischen und Dänischen.
