5 fun facts about me :

1) I am a travel addict!

I had the chance to discover Montreal, New-York, Europe (Italy, Spain, Greece, Hungary...), Thailand, the Dominican Republic, French islands like Reunion and Martinique, as well as Mauritius. I spent a week in Scotland, a few days in Turkey, in Morocco too. But I am never tired  visiting my country, because even a lifetime would not be enough.

2) I like Formula 1

I know, it may sound weird. But I don't miss a single Grand Prix. I was lucky enough to witness the victory of French pilote Esteban Ocon at the Hungarian grand prix in 2021 and give him a high five.
I am a groupie, don't judge me.

3) I watch way too much TV.

‍
My favorite French series are Dix pour Cent, Le Bureau des Légendes and Family Business. Check them out! They are entertaining and a fun way to learn French.

👋 My name is Alice and I teach French as a Foreign Language.

I achieved my Master’s Degree in teaching at the University of Orléans, the native city of Jeanne d’Arc. Before, I had my literary baccalaureate and I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Language and Hispanics civilizations.

📍 During my studies I spent every other year abroad: first as a student in Spain and then as a teacher in Italy and Croatia.

In one hand, I love to talk about my lifestyle and to explain my language. In the other hand, I also love to learn from the others. It allows me to compare a lot of things and to adopt new ways of looking at the world… Because I think that we never stop learning!

5 fun facts about me:

1) I can’t stop taking pictures :

I like travelling and when I visit a new place or when I go for a walk in nature, I always bring my camera with me. Landscapes, flowers, animals, … I like to spot the details and immortalize them.

2) I volunteered…

From the age of 15 in a library and in others occasions to help children with their homeworks.

3) I am greedy

As a good French person, I like food so much but I have a particular passion for the French patisserie… And everything with chocolate, dark chocolate please!  

4) I prefer the mountain

I come from a very flat region in the center of France but I love the mountain. Now that I’ve lived in mountainous regions, I can't do without it... When I don't see relief anymore, I miss it!  

5) I teach and learn

I am fluent in Spanish, Italian, I have a good level of English and I am learning Croatian. During my studies I first wanted to be a translator. For me, being able to speak more languages and to make texts, cultures and ideas accessible to the others is a treasure.
