A warm welcome

Overview

Welcome to Cosmic Lingua’s blog; great to have you here! Unfortunately, there won’t be much content available at the time of posting this, but rest assured, this is due to change soon!

What is this blog about?

My goal is to make this an interesting and entertaining resource for everyone dealing with business communications in both English and German, but with a special focus on Cosmic Lingua’s field of expertise: the space industry.

I hope you enjoy perusing my content and would love to hear from you!

Posting frequency and topics

How often do I publish posts?

I am currently planning to publish content once a month, but depending on circumstances, my blogpost launch cadence might increase in the future.

Which topics do I cover?

As a language expert, a lot of my content will revolve around tips and tricks for everyday business communications, especially in an international setting. This could include interesting grammar issues and various intricacies of the German and English languages, some of which are not even widely known among native speakers. The goal is to make you a better communicator and help you avoid common traps. And I will, of course, also have a few articles focussing specifically on business communications dos and don’ts.

Alongside linguistic topics, I will also have a few features reporting on conferences and relevant courses and seminars I attend, as well as the occasional insight into the everyday life as translator and copywriter and some behind the scenes content. And with the help of client and case studies, I would like to demonstrate tangibly how translations and professionally written texts help my clients increase their reach and improve business opportunities.

The majority of my blog posts will be available in both English and German, with the exception of language-specific topics such as grammar. So don’t be surprised if there is no post in your language one month—I promise I will be back with interesting content for you the next.

How do you find out about new posts?

I don’t currently offer a newsletter, but please feel free to follow me on Twitter to stay up-to-date. I will post about new blog topics (including links) immediately upon publication, as well as about other current topics. You can easily find me by searching for my handle @aa_translations.

Navigation

How do you navigate the blog?

So far, there is not much to see on this page, but this will change soon. To prevent you from getting lost, I am providing a few options to quickly navigate to topics that are of interest to you. Here is how:

First of all, you can use the language selection for the entire website to filter some of my content. As I mentioned above, not all topics will be available in both languages. So if you are looking for a blog that specifically looks into intricacies of the English or German language, make sure to select the correct setting at the top of the page.

But since this will not be enough to get you to the right content quickly, I am adding keywords all my posts. You can either search for those via the search bar at the top or filter for them by clicking on the corresponding button. Every article will be labelled with several keywords: one to describe the overarching “genre” (e.g. “grammar”) and then a few additional tags to narrow down the specific topic (e.g. “commas”).

Suggestions

Is it possible to suggest topics?

You are looking for a specific topic but can’t find any posts about it? Then please feel free to get in touch! I am always happy to hear from you and receive input about what my readers would like to know more about. And don’t worry: if the question you have does not provide enough content for a full post, I will of course still reply and give you an answer or support in finding it.

Enjoy!
