About

My tryst with languages started in my French class in 2013 at St. Joseph's College of Commerce. From then on, I've gone on to complete my C1 in French, live in France for 8 years, imbibe the local culture, learn the nuances of the language and teach countless batches. This is how I've truly discovered my passion for languages. I've since learnt and taught Spanish, am learning German & Arabic and I aim to learn more languages in the future. I've worked as an Interpreter and Translator on numerous projects including Corporate, Governmental and Private ones. I've taught Foreign Languages for over 9 years to university students, corporates, professionals and more. You can reach me at [email protected] for any enquiries. Learn more from my personal blog: www.polyglotsthoughts.com I'm excited to meet new people, share the joy of languages and learn something new everyday!
