I started learning English in junior high school, where it was our major subject. Instead of memorizing grammar rules and vocabularies, I focused on extensive reading of English magazines. Through English learning, I seized the opportunity to broaden my knowledge and explore personal interests beyond my initial expectations. Fluency in English has facilitated my interactions with people from different countries, boosted my self-confidence and opened doors to numerous opportunities in both my personal and professional growth. In particular, my involvement in Toastmasters International, an American non-profit organization for public speech and leadership, enhanced my communication and leadership skills through public speaking, forming social connections, and taking on leadership roles.

I began learning French in university, where it became my major. Finally realizing my dream of speaking this romantic language, French learning has been transformative for me. I had the chance to pursue my first master’s study in international economic affairs and management in Toulouse and Paris, France. Applying my French skills and specific knowledge in tourism, international commerce, insurance brokerage, and teaching has elevated my competitiveness in professional development in the international job market. This beautiful language has also shaped my positive life attitude towards freedom, equity, and fraternity (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité), as well as the French romantism. Consequently, I discovered my passion for being a French teacher, allowing me to pass down this transformative power.
