As a language afficionado, I have dabbled with many languages, but only a few have had as considerable impact on me and my life as the ones listed below. Despite their overly complicated vowel systems, I am a great fan of Germanic languages; aside from that, I thoroughly enjoy unusual consonants!
I speak or understand the following languages:
Polish (native)
English (C2)
I have passed the Proficiency C2 (CPE) exam with a score of 222
Swedish (C1)
I have passed the Test i svenska för universitets- och högskolestudier (TISUS) exam; while it does not have an associated CEFR value, it is estimated to correspond to B2/C1
German (B2)
While I used to be quite proficient and took courses at the C1 level, my knowledge of German is currently predominantly passive, and I am by no means a fluent speaker anymore
Some of the skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my education and work include:
Linguistics
Diachronic linguistics, history of English, language change, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, annotation
Natural Language Processing
Nonstandard varieties, token classification, pseudonymization
Programming (Python)
Various NLP- and data-oriented packages, machine learning
I hold the Data Science Associate certification from DataCamp
Teaching
I have finished a course in teaching English as a foreign language and I have done a semester of teaching preparation in my Bachelor's program
I have completed courses on teaching for higher education
I am actively participating in the teaching of multiple courses in the Master's in Language Technology program at the University of Gothenburg
I have always felt like listing one's own soft skills sounds rather boasty, but on the other hand, it is good to be aware of your fortes. I consider myself quite quality-oriented when it comes to projects that I carry out, always aiming at delivering the best that I can. I enjoy being ahead of schedule whenever possible. Although I enjoy working solo, I do not shy away from group work either. I consider myself rather proactive when it comes to solving issues, and while I do not seek out leadership positions, I do take them whenever necessary.
