Hi there,
My name is Simona, I am currently pursuing my PhD in French Translation and Teaching and have over 10 years experience in teaching French as well as a Masters in Linguistics, which has taught me all the intricacies of learning a new language. I personally have self taught 12 languages, and have native level French. I have just recently moved on to an online platform as I am travelling between where my family lives and where I am studying. I have lived and worked in Bordeaux, France and understand first hand the difference between learning a language via books and dictionaries and actually interacting with another person and being able to share the culture exposed by the language itself. There is no better way of understanding a people than through their language, and also of understanding our own limitations and capabilities.
Should you decide to choose to work with me on this project, my aim would be to learn practically, interactively and through examples. I would be recommending music, movies, videos as well as provide support 24/7 to any questions you might have regarding the language. During the hours that we Skype, and outside of them, the atmosphere will be relaxed but keen and professional working towards a common goal. Learning a language need not be a chore.
I wish you all the best in your language learning experience and thank you for your time.
