need uk/us dude

by risee • 7 Sep 2011, 00:25 • Journals
Hey,
is there anyone (mother tongue english, with decent knowledge about the language) who is willing to read over an abstract of like 1 page (650 words) for mistakes / bad phrases and especially punctuation/commaplacement. I would really appreciate that. I'm currently studying abroad in the US and have to hand in the abstract by tomorrow. Shouldn't take too long.

kulturwirtschaft.
ist zum einen teil bwl und zum andren teil sprachen bzw. kulturraumbezogene veranstaltungen.
bin halt nach dem ersten semester gleich auf reines bwl bzw. business administration dann gewechselt und dadurch dass eh einige bwl sachen dabei waren + ich den rest über studium generale auch anrechnen lassen kann war das kein stress.

ich hatte das gefühl mit den wirtschaftssachen mehr anfangen zu können und wusste, wofür ich das mache. saß halt zum teil bei sowas wie sprachwissenschaften drin und hab mir gedacht, wofür mache ich das, was bringt mir das später... hat mich halt auch nicht so sonderlich interessiert eigentlich. hatte anfangs halt bedenken, reines bwl zu studieren, weil ich nicht mal wirtschafts leistungskurs hatte, aber hab schnell festgestellt, dass ich das problemlos hinbekomme.

If you're desperate you can send it to me and I will have a look over it. I do most of the Engrisch (German English) to normal English conversion at work.

I'm a native English speaker but there are subtle differences between correct English and American English. Certain spelling and word usage.

Anyhow PM me if you need help, but I guess you're sleeping ;)

risee 8 Sep 2011, 06:46

risee 9 Sep 2011, 07:41
why did you move on to marketing? didn't really enjoy accounting/audit that much?
Parent

Nyke 9 Sep 2011, 10:46
id like to be in the more creative/design/advertising side of the business. Everyone is more outgoing in marketing and its more team working as well so its not boring and fits better into who i am, contrary to popular belief as i'm on crossfire i'm not a nerd who would love to sit at a PC 12 hours a day on their own. Its also obviously what im most interested in. Ul never hear an accountant whose excited about work tomorrow.

i totally get your point, even though i think this is pretty biased :D
i wouldn't really consider myself a nerd either (especially within the last 2-3 years i think i kinda "developed" a lot personally, and yes i know that this sounds kinda stupid) and yet i prefer something more "tangible" or "concrete" if you know what i mean which is why i prefer accounting over marketing. i got several marketing courses aswell but still it feels kinda airy-fairy to me. maybe it's just because i'm not the most creative person out there though :p
