Ümit

I am a native Turkish and near-native German speaker (born in Germany) and have been teaching Turkish and German languages for 15 years. I hold a BA degree in German language and literature, and a PhD degree in Turkish language and literature (I wrote a thesis on comparative linguistics). I also have a certificate to teach Turkish as a foreign language. I have translated several works from German. I also have some academic articles.
