Introductions
[edit]Hello!
Welcome to my user page,
This account has been set up for a translation course taught by OberMegaTrans in my English and American studies university programme.
I'm looking forward to help improve Wikipedia! :)
Interests
[edit]Academic
[edit]I am a Bachelor's student of History and English education at the University of Freiburg. There, I am especially interested in sociolinguistics and literary studies.
I am also fascinated by philosophy, which I studies for three semesters, and politics, with some of my favorite thinkers including Ludwig Wittgenstein, Fjodor Dostojewski and AJ Ayer
Recreational
[edit]I am an avid chess player,[1] a hobby which i picked up 5 years ago.
Other interests of mine are Basketball, which i played and coached actively for 11 years on teams like the Tigers Tübingen and the SV Möhringen,[2] as well as weightlifting and hiking.
Some athletes I have been influenced by include Mikhail Tal, Tracy McGrady and Dirk Nowitzki
Translation project
[edit]In partaking in the Universities translation project, I will mainly be translating articles from German into English.
Ideas for translation:
