Hello everyone! My name's Lorena, I'm from Italy and I speak English, Spanish, a little bit of French and... a very poor Portuguese.
I'm actually a teacher on italki, but now I'm on "maternity leave" and I took a break from work.
Since I need to keep myself kind of busy (babies don't allow you to keep that busy :-) ) with language learning,
I thought of starting a reading club! I haven't done anything like this before, but I think it can be fun to have a group of people to meet with once a month to discuss freely about a book we have decided to read.
Who's in??
(This group would be open to speakers of any language and native speakers.)
