Testimonials

German language experts & cultural ambassadors

Jeenie interpreters are more than linguists, they help others to navigate cultural differences and understand unique tonal and visual cues that non-native speakers often miss. They’re communication experts.

About the German language

German is a West Germanic language spoken by over 130 million people, primarily in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and parts of Belgium and Luxembourg. It traces its roots to the early Germanic tribes of Central Europe, with Old High German emerging around the 6th century.

Over centuries, German evolved, influenced by Latin, French, and other languages, ultimately standardizing in the 16th century with Martin Luther’s translation of the Bible, which helped unify dialects across the German-speaking world. As the language of great philosophers, poets, and scientists—such as Goethe, Kant, and Einstein—German has profoundly shaped Western thought.

Today, German remains a dominant language in academia, science, and business, with over 30 million people learning it as a second language globally.

Interesting Facts about German Culture

German culture is a fusion of intellectual achievement, tradition, and resilience, tempered by the profound impact of the World Wars. The tragedies of both World War I and World War II, alongside the horrors of the Holocaust, have deeply influenced modern German identity. The phrase “Nie wieder”—meaning “Never again”—is a central theme in Germany’s collective memory, driving the country’s commitment to ensuring peace and human rights. The reunification of Germany in 1990 marked a powerful moment of healing and reconciliation, symbolizing the triumph of unity over division.

Today, Germany’s culture emphasizes remembrance and responsibility, particularly through memorials and education about its past. This commitment to “Never again” is not just a historical reflection but a guiding principle in Germany’s social policies, international diplomacy, and efforts to foster European unity.

Whether through its world-renowned philosophy, music, or technological innovations, German culture continues to be shaped by a legacy of resilience and a deep desire for peace and collective progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Across the industry, Karen interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details. 

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions. 

We get this question a lot.

German interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (German into English and English into German). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other. 

German translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language. 

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here’s how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
