About me
Welcome on my About me site. A short overview: My name is Laura Bilinson. I am a German native speaker, but I also speak English on level C1+ and I am currently learning Russian. I attended a secondary grammar school specialised in languages and afterwards studied Biology at the TU Dresden. In 2023, I will pass an exam to become a state-approved translator for German and English.
