My husband is an engineer and I'm a project specialist and a teacher. We live in a fairly quiet city of Bydgoszcz in Poland. We are a fun-loving family with ample of different interests. We are avid travellers, love to learn about other cultures and meet interesting people. Our main goal is to learn languages.
If you happen to be an English teacher or have an excellent command of English you are more than welcome here to help us with English.

If you are a native speaker of Spanish we would love to start our adventure with Spanish ( we are learning it ourselves).
I am engaged in some language activities with children learning English in two primary schools close to Bydgoszcz and would like you to make a short and simple presentation about your country and its culture for all my groups. You will also be expected to do some household chores, gardening and DIY project.
