Working Languages

Nataliya works in two native languages: Ukrainian and Russian. Her first foreign language is German. That is her active foreign language, from and into which she interprets. Nataliya’s second foreign language is English, her passive foreign language. This means that she interprets from English, but – apart from in a few exceptional cases – not into English.
