Fun Facts
I love learning new languages, cultures and people. Theses are the reasons I decided to study English, Spanish and live abroad. When we learn a new language consequently we learn a new world, we become open-minded and we see life through other perspectives. I want to motivate my students how I am motivate in learning.
