I can converse well in English, but would like to improve my communication skills so that I can speak completely fluently. I studied French at school, but have forgotten most of it, partly because I started learning Spanish last year. If anyone is interested in learning German, I would of course be happy to provide the best possible support.

More details about your skills
I grew up as the eldest of four boys in a family in southern Germany. That's why I'm familiar with everyday family life, with all its ups and downs.
This has given me the ability to look after children well: I have been a youth worker at family gatherings on several occasions and a group leader for boys at a summercamp.
I am also an enthusiastic athlete. My favorite sport is soccer, but I enjoy many other sports and am open to trying new ones.
I finished school in July 2025 and am now taking a gap year before starting my studies in October 2026. Nevertheless, I have already gained some work experience, including a mini-job as a newspaper boy, an internship at the global company Boehringer Ingelheim, and some insights into the catering industry as a kitchen assistant.
During this gap year, I want to see the world, get to know other cultures, but also gain all kinds of experience and get a better insight into the world of work. I am therefore open to any kind of task that needs to be done in a wide variety of areas.
