I’m a linguist born and raised in Chile. I speak fluently about 20 languages and I’m eager to learn many more. Languages open you the gates of new cultures, so my main goal here on italki is to find new exciting languages to discover, appreciate and learn. After having lived in Portugal, the Czech Republic, Macedonia, Latvia and Finland, I sure can say that I enjoy traveling around the world practicing the languages I learn with the locals. Since I worked as a professional cook during the time I studied Linguistics at the Uni, I can also enjoy discovering the culinary of every country I visit. Music is close to my heart, I sing and play the guitar and bass-guitar and I’ve had a fair deal of concerts in Pubs and Music Festivals around the world. Now I work as a translator specialized on the medical and legal fields (mainly on the pairs Slovak>Spanish, Slovak>English, Czech>Spanish, Czech>English), but other than that I also enjoy working on my organic garden where I grow my own vegetables and fruits, reading, dancing Salsa and learning new languages, of course! I’m an enthusiast practitioner of Taekwondo ITF and MMA, and I’m always up for a football match. If you don’t want to sweat, you can try me at Chess, though! ;-) ————————————— I recently moved to Indonesia where I’m currently studying Indonesian language and culture, thanks to a scholarship I was awarded by the Indonesian government. I’m more than excited to learn other regional Indonesian languages (like Javanese and Balinese) and hopefully, many more languages of Asia!!
