When I was a little child I wasn’t really interested in learning languages. In spite of that, my mother made me go to a private school to learn Spanish. It wasn’t until I flew to Spain for a vacation with my friends that I realised the importance of studying languages - and I wasn’t the only one.

Two of my friends started Spanish language courses in Spain during those holidays. As I had to visit some colleagues in Italy, I begun some Italian language courses in Italy for a while. I’ve always worked as a travel agent and as I learnt more languages I got better positions at the company where I work. At my first year there, I only worked in Spain, as Spanish was the only non-native language I could speak. But then, as I started to learn Italian I got took a couple of jobs in Milano. I still had a big need, though - I couldn’t speak the most universal language: English.

I was glad when my company paid for English language courses in the UK. Not only I had to learn English there, but also I had to live for half a year. I made a couple of friends and I found people willing to learn German (my native language). Most of them worked in a typical English pub. So we created a great environment by exchanging German for English over a great number of pints.

Now that I feel really confident with English my goal is to learn French. As I speak fluent Spanish and Italian, I don't think it's going to be too bad.
