Hobbies

I have learned French, Spanish, and German (B1 proficiency certification) all to about a B1 or B2 level. I've taken numerous language classes, and I've had so many teachers and tutors. Through them, I've learned so much about English grammar and about how people learn to understand and master a foreign language. Most of my friends speak English as their second language, and I've always tutored informally, offering to proofread papers and resumes, etc. I love teaching and I love language. Whether you need conversational practice or writing help, I can help you! I love language learning, traveling, and making new friends. I am always learning a new skill. Recently, I climbed a mountain in Romania in the snow! I have studied in 3 foreign countries and have traveled to 17. I hope to learn more about other languages and cultures.
