  • Description

    Hi! My name is Adélie, and I'm currently 19 years old. I would say that I'm quite curious, independant, eager to learn (especially anything related to nature, as I've always lived in a french city), and above all, eager to help. I love traveling and meeting new people (with whom I have formed lasting bonds), experiences that I have tried to pursue throughout my teenage years. I firmly believe that immersion will always be the best way to learn about a new culture ;) .

    I am in my first year of college studying literature in France, etc. I love it! Unfortunately, that leaves me little free time to work or pursue my personal interests (and fortunately, most of them coincide with my subjects!).

    More details about my language interests
    I speak French fluently, I get by fairly well in English, and I'm learning German at university (we mainly study literature and not really the communicative aspect. Even though I've practiced it during exchanges lasting a few months, it's still something I need to improve). Finally, I am a fan of ancient languages, it is really my cup of tea, even though for now I can only study Latin and Ancient Greek (but immersion is still a little difficult to achieve for these). This naturally led me to Modern Greek, which I am learning little by little but hope to be able to speak well one day! I would be delighted to teach French to someone, and it would be quite a novel experience, as I am usually the student (which is why I am afraid I might not be the most suitable person to teach), and learning other languages will always be a great pleasure.

  • More details about your skills

    Well, I have babysat very young children several times, but I have also looked after slightly older children during a month-long au pair stay (which went well). As I don't have any younger siblings, it was a real discovery, like creating games, entering their world, etc. Apart from that, I don't think I'm bad with animals, even though my experience is mainly with cats (I love them!). I am also fond of cooking and preparing meals, especially cakes.

    I don't have any specific skills(except for picking berries) but I'm here to learn and I'm willing to do so (once, I took a short carpentry class during a school exchange, and it was great : I had never worked with wood before, but I managed to make a small stool, and it felt like the greatest achievement!).
