Welcome to my profile!
My name is Myriam, and I'm a very open and social person. I like all kinds of activities, however, I particularly enjoy music, dancing, board games, cooking, cycling, and spending time with great people :) I value open communication that allows me to understand new perspectives, and question my own. I have a keen interest in social history, community organizing, social issues, etc. If you can talk to me about the history of your city or neighbourhood and the dynamics that inhabit it, I will happily listen for hours!
I consider myself a very kind and warm person, who's almost always smiling. I am hardworking and really pay attention to detail. I am an excellent cleaner, good cook, and I love taking care of plants and gardens. I am always happy to learn new skills : this is one of the many reasons I am using Workaway. I have many skills to offer but am always looking to learn more. I am highly organized, very social, and I learn quickly if I'm given directions.
I'll be travelling within Brazil and Colombia for six months each in order to live and speak in portuguese and spanish every day :) I would love to meet people from various states who can tell me all about the culture of their city/area and I can do the same. I will happily talk about my city (Montréal) and it's culture (community building, art, music, danse, food, park chillings, etc) : it has so much to offer !Interessengebiete

HANDS-ON SKILLS:
I'm not much of a handyman, but I'm open to learning! I'd love to work on an eco-farm to develop these skills. HOWEVER, I'm an excellent plant-mom and I'd love to take care of your garden ! I would also be very happy to take care of your animals. I can paint your walls for you, and decorate with really nice, funky shapes. I can also cook really good vegan and vegetarian food for you (I'm open to learning how to cook meat, I just don't have experience with it). I have experience as both a waitress, and a cook.
ORGANIZING:
However, my greatest hands-on skill is organizing, so if you need a hand with that, I'm your gal. I love it all! Be it organizing books, schedules of employees or volunteers, paperwork, re-organizing your house, shed, or whatever, that's my jam! This love of organizing also spills into *cleaning*, which I genuinely enjoy because seeing the result gives me a big sense of accomplishment. I will also happily organize events and outings if that's something you might need :)
LANGUAGE:
As I mentioned in my description, I'm a people-person, so interactions are my favourite kind of activities. Therefore, I'll be applying mostly to workaways that involve this at a higher degree, be it be spending time in a community, conversing for language practice, or working in hostel administration, etc. I have experience helping people understand their mistakes in their spoken language and well as mistakes in written language. I think a strength of mine is that I focus on learning by understanding mistakes instead of simply pointing them out. Ex: if someone was to make a mistake, instead of simply correcting the person, I'd ask them to say it again and ask them if they're certain it's the right word, conjugation, or way of saying it. For example, if the mistake is a conjugation, I'd ask them in what tense they're trying to convey their message. Then I'd tell them in which tense they said it. And then they would be able to choose the correct tense. I really believe this is a better way to learn and remember than simply handing out the answer. This way of teaching is mostly directed towards teaching adults as this is what I have more experience with, but if the children are above 5 years old, this should work with them too. Children under this age, simply speaking to them should suffice in helping them to learn correct grammar and vocabulary.Alter

Was noch ...
I grew up speaking both French and English. I started learning Spanish in university in 2018, and I started learning Portuguese with the help of my host family in brazil and then Netflix during the first covid lockdown in 2020.
