Tell us about a favorite activity that you pursue when you have free time.

In my free time, I love reading. It’s my greatest passion, and I enjoy exploring a wide range of genres as well as reading in different languages. Literature allows me to relax, reflect, and discover new perspectives. It’s a way for me to connect with both myself and the world.

Tell us when and how you started studying foreign languages and what you like about learning languages.

I first started learning English and French at school and later began studying Arabic at university. I believe that the more languages you know, the better you can connect with people from different backgrounds. For me, language learning is a meaningful way to build bridges and foster understanding.

Tell us what you studied at the university and what you might like to do one day.

I am currently studying to become a secondary school teacher with a focus on German and History. Teaching has always been my goal, as I enjoy working with young people and sharing my enthusiasm for language and culture. One day, I hope to inspire my students the way some of my teachers inspired me.

What would you like to learn from your students in your classes?

I look forward to being inspired by my students' diverse personalities and perspectives. Everyone has unique strengths, and I am excited to discover what each individual brings to the classroom. Learning from my students is just as important to me as teaching them.
