I am learning A2 level at Migrosschule. ii) Language(s) you speak natively:
I speak Japanese natively, and good English. iii) Your location:
I live near Aarau, Aargau kanton. iv) Personal interests (eg sport, film, music etc):
I like cooking, reading, traveling, watching films, surfing internet, crossstiching, planting flowers. v) Short introduction about yourself
Moved to Aarau a year ago from Kuwait because of my husband's job.
I have worked as a teachers assistant at one of the well known British schools in Kuwait ,and taught English in Japan. I'm now trying to learn German which I find quite hard. To speak German outside of school is very difficult as we only speak English at home. If anyone fluent in German is interested in learning Japanese ,we could exchange German for Japanese lessons. Thank you.

i) language(s) that you are learning, including level German (B1), Swiss-German (A1)
ii) language(s) you speak natively English, also know Latin quite well but that's not much use... iii) your location Solothurn but am willing to travel to Bern.
iv) personal interests (eg sport, film, music etc) Fencing (the sport - not building an actual fence, as many of my students have mistakenly believed ) , films, History, photography, art and museums/galleries, travelling and food (especially cake!).
v) short introduction about yourself I have recently moved from Scotland to Solothurn to teach English at the Kantonsschule. I am a CELTA qualified English teacher (pass B) and would really like to improve my German and learn some Swiss German so I can start looking for internships in the art world. I would also quite like to meet some new people and explore more of Solothurn! Also willing to take private tuition if you feel you don't need English tuition. |
