What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I love clothes but the problem is during winter, it’s difficult to wear the clothes I want to because it’s too cold.  I love dresses, stockings and especially hats. I love shopping but I don’t have the time to go shopping very frequently.

What do you like to do in your free time?:

I love reading, watching films, working on the computer, going out with friends, going on holidays, going to new places, sightseeing, traveling, meeting people and especially dancing.

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak Galician, Spanish, English and some French. The most common way to say “Hello” in Galician, my first language, is “Ola.”

Do you have pets?:

My parents have a cat at their house. I basically treat it as my pet. I love cats.

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I love Paris. It’s one of the places I want to go back to. If I had to live in another place, I would like to live in Dublin, Ireland. My favorite countries to travel in besides these are Spain, Portugal, Italy and Canada.

What do you do for work?:

I work as an English teacher at an elementary school. I teach kids from 3-12 years old. I also work as a teacher trainer, so I train other teachers. I also sometimes work as a teacher trainer online.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

It is important to make the effort to learn the language of a foreign country if you are traveling and especially if you are living there.
