Description
Hi there,
Since spending until January 24 in Chongqing, China, as a language instructor I have been short of vitamin D (Chongqing is known for mild UV radiation from the sun and people with bright-pale skin), so I would be happy for some work under the sun! :)

Currently I live and work in Edmonton, AB, Canada. I must prepare for an IELTS exam and also would like to improve my Russian or Cantonese. I studied Cantonese for about 2 years mostly using Duolingo and language exchanges with locals while living in China. Before that, after working in sales in Israel, I also learned a bit Russian to communicate with Russian-speaking customers. Learning languages is a big passion of mine, and I have a Master of Arts in teaching Hebrew as a 2nd language. I have been living in China for ten years and am also fluent in Mandarin (Chinese); BTW, this is one of the rezones I find it very easy to learn Cantonese with Duolingo. To get better work opportunities, I must practice my English to prepare for the IELTS exam. It could be nice to find someone to exchange. Can you be my language partner? Oh! My native language is Hebrew. Please feel free to message me!

I think that when I contacted you on Workaway, I told you I will be staying for 3-4 weeks and then we will decide what next, but in the end I have been in the farm for 2 months （minus few days）, and I might like to stay longer if I wouldn't find the job in Edmonton。 BTW，If you arrive to Edmonton, give me a call！Now in Edmonton, I miss… read more
