Hello there! First of all I want to tell you that I'm an English teacher, but I am now retired. As you know I'm from Chile, a South American country where we speak Spanish, so that's my mother tongue. I've always liked languages, which is why I'm learning French now. My younger son encouraged me to follow this course, because he lived in Belgium for a year and learned Dutch and French. This means I can sometimes practice the language with him. When I went to Paris 6 years ago I could barely say "bonjour", "bonsoir" or "merci". Now I can say all of those things and many more! I hope to go back there someday. Unfortunately, my city doesn't have a dedicate place where I can practice this language. And it isn't common for people to learn it. But I love my lessons and I've learned a lot. So, thanks a lot!!
