    Travelling

  • Description

    I am a friendly and outgoing person with a passion for languages and cultures. I like to immerse myself in different cultures and live them, not just visit. Having lived in Spain for 3 years and learnt Spanish to a high level I started learning French in September and now have around a B1/B2 level. I started learning French as some of my best friends are French as someone of my best friends are French and I would love to be able to speak with them in their own language.

    In my free time I love to be physically active going to the gym, playing sport and cycling. I love being outside in nature. I am very interested in foreign cinema. I love lots of different types of music and am currently learning to DJ. I would like to also learn how to play the guitar.

    Through work away I hope to be able to learn more about France and its people whilst improving my language skills in and hopefully being able to share a bit of my own culture in the process.

    More details about my language interests
    I am fascinated by different cultures and for me there is no better way to understand them and broaden your perspective than to I learn to speak another language. I speak native English and have spent various years teaching it to both adults and children. I speak C2 level Spanish after having lived in Madrid for 3 years, I have also taught the language to others. I am deeply interested in hispanic culture across the world. More recently I started learning French. I currently have approximately a B2 level. I am extremely motivated by the opportunity to continuing improving and to learn more about French culture.
