Episode 288: EwK288 - The benefits of communicating with customers in their language with Laura Schartmann

I met Laura at one of my networking events and decided to have a chat with her on the podcast because we’re offering something similar for different source languages. I work with people who translate from English and who want to feel more confident when speaking it. Laura has a new service to provide support for people who want to communicate more confidently and spontaneously with customers in German.

We talked about:

Laur’as story and how languages became part of it

• Some of the benefits of working as a freelance translator and working with international clients
• Laura’s new service for people who want to improve their German speaking skills
• Why it’s good to have choices and the benefits for freelancers when we can communicate with customers directly in their own language … in both conversations and emails.
