About me in real life
My name is Daniel Šebesta. I mostly live in Prague, Czech Republic. I am a linguist with an academic background in Czech and German linguistics and I work as a translator, primarily in the English-to-Czech and German-to-Czech language pairs. I specialize in marketing and various technical fields. I'm a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), the Czech Union of Interpreters and Translators (JTP), the Modern Language Association, and ProZ.com.
I got involved in lexicography a couple of years ago and I've co-authored the following printed publications since then:
- Německo-český a česko-německý studijní slovník (German-Czech and Czech-German Learner's Dictionary, 5th ed., 2004, ISBN 80-7182-178-0),
- Česko-německý a německo-český kapesní slovník (Czech-German and German-Czech Pocket Dictionary, 3rd ed., 2004, ISBN 80-7182-173-X),
- Němčina pro au pair (German for Au Pair, 1st ed., 2005, ISBN 80-7182-198-5),
- Německo-český a česko-německý studijní slovník (German-Czech and Czech-German Learner's Dictionary, 6th ed., 2006, ISBN 80-7182-204-3),
