I like to talk about the different languages that I learned since I was a child. When I was a child, I thought that language could not improve my life, but when I grew up, I saw that English in particular and Spanish helped me a lot during my childhood because I had the chance to travel around the world since my mother is cabin crew. So I traveled a lot, for example, to the USA, the UK, etc. I met a lot of new people who didn't speak my language, which is French. I had the chance to improve my English and Spanish. This has been very beneficial for me because in my future, I want to work in London, and it's very beneficial for me. I love to learn about different countries and cultures and meet a lot of new people. It is complicated to learn when it's not your native language, but if I work hard, I can improve. I hope in my future to speak more than three languages, but for now, I just want to improve my English. I do that by watching films or series in English.
