My profile

Hi, children!!!
I`m really very excited to be your teacher in this your first year at ORT. Hope we`ll have a most fruitful experience. I have been teaching English for many years. When I was your age, I already used to fancy myself as a teacher. I love speaking foreign languages for they have allowed me to meet different people and learn the most incredible things while studying abroad.I speak English as a first language and Italian as well, though it is not as good as my English. As you see, I know how it feels to learn another language from scratch.
I have many interests, mainly artistic. I have sung in a choir for more than ten years. We have to sing in many different languages.
Speaking English helps a lot!!!
I love going to rock concerts. You know, my eldest son is a musician. And my daughter loves painting. As you see the artistic streak runs in the family....
What groups do you like best?? From Argentina or any other country?
I am very keen on Pink Floyd, U2, Sting, Joan Armatrading among many others.I also like Bersuit, La Renga and Divididos. Now it is your turn!! Come on!!! I`ll be looking for you comments!!!!

Feel free to send any questions if you please.

Having a good time while learning!
