Description

I'm more of the quiet, thoughtful type, but my friends say I have a big heart. I'm definitely committed to the things and people I care about. I'm also curious about the world and enjoy exploring new places, meeting new people, learning new languages. You might say I've turned this interest into my job, as I have 26 years of experience working as a language teacher!
I've had a special interest in Poland ever since my visit in the late 1990s. Five years ago I finally started learning Polish. My level is quite good now, but I'm keen to keep learning more and get even better at it. I don't just like the language, I like the country as well, especially the hilly landscapes in the south.
My main hobby is running. I run most days and every so often I enter a marathon or another race. I also enjoy reading, meditation, watching movies, cooking, spending time with friends, being in nature.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Language learning and teaching have been my main passion ever since I was at high school. I studied languages at university, then I got an English-teaching qualification and worked as an EFL teacher for eight years. After that I taught German language and literature at a university in New Zealand for 18 years.
