Languages connected to work, study, travel, certifications and curiosity about people and culture.

Languages I can use comfortably in professional or nuanced everyday contexts.
Native (incl. Swiss German)
I grew up speaking Swiss German and use both Swiss German and Standard German at native level. Swiss German is part of my everyday life, while I also use Standard German confidently in conversation, writing and professional work.
