“Learning a foreign language is much more than learning new names for the same things. It's learning a new way of thinking about them." There are more advantages to learning a foreign language than those known to many. It's a great asset to the cognitive process , it makes us develop and allows to gain a totally new perspective. It's a key point of any language class to provide students with guidance and make the lesson an intellectual adventure, a journey, a new experience for both the student and the teacher.”

As a world wanderer with a nomadic soul, it was a challenge for me to settle down in one place. This is why I feel that teaching the languages I've learned during my travels is like a way of keeping myself on the road, yet with both feet still on the ground. It gives me enormous satisfaction to be able to pass on the cultures and languages I've absorbed in my lifetime. Seeing my students' interest, enjoyment and progress makes me re-experience those adventures once again. What’s more, it's more than just personal satisfaction, it feels like it's passing on a legacy.

Outside the classroom, she likes to feel the wind in her hair while cycling, and spends her evenings most happily with the sounds of The Beatles' music…..and if you ever hear a Spanish accent in her pronunciation, it's because she loves to improve her Spanish language skills.

"I think the perfect voiceover is the one that follows the maxim of Immanuel Kant. This German Enlightenment philosopher became famous among others a living ethical principle to this day, formulated in many ways, which in this particular case should read: Teach only as if you yourself would be taught always and by others.
