Description
Hello, I'm Selda. We are are a family of four. My son is nine years old, and my daughter is at university. My husband is a real estate agent. We are looking to improve our English, and we want someone to practice English with, especially for our son, so native speakers are our priority. We want female volunteers only. We live in a house with a garden and swimming pool with a beautiful sea view. It's a very peaceful place, close to the beach so you can go swimming.
I am a very creative person. I go to creative classes every week, such as pottery, knitting and sewing. We can go together if this is something you'd be interested in.
