Marie-Anne Louvenberg

Name:
Marie-Anne Louvenberg – de Hoon

Place of residence/work:
Heerlen, Netherlands

Education:

• Teacher’s training English; vocational translating training for the languages Dutch, English and German
• Trados training and various other courses by way of permanent education

From an early age I have been fascinated by languages, especially English and later also German.

After having trained as an English teacher, I enjoyed teaching and tutoring. However, sometimes a new challenge is needed. And as translating was the obvious choice, I retrained as a translator.

Since 2007 I have worked as a freelance translator for the language combinations German/English–Dutch and Dutch-English. I combine my work as a translator with teaching at the Berlitz Language Center in Aachen (Germany).

Hobbies: reading, cooking, travelling and visiting museums
