Hey there! I’m Chuka, a passionate language learner, science teacher, and YouTuber. Over the years, I’ve studied German (2 years in school), Mandarin Chinese (4 years self-taught) and Japanese (4 years self-taught). I love languages that challenge me and open up new cultural dimensions. Now, I’m preparing to live and teach in an international school in Dubai, so I’ve set my sights on learning as much Arabic as I can in the next few months. My goal is to not just to survive in Dubai but to connect with the people and the culture around me. I have a background in Materials Science and Engineering (MEng, Imperial College London). I’m fascinated by how language shapes thought and experience, and I bring that same curiosity into every lesson I attend. I also spent four years in Toastmasters, honing my communication and leadership skills. I love asking questions, making learning fun, and finding creative ways to remember tough grammar and vocabulary.
