A lot of new subscribers have been asking if there is a video about my background, how I learned 8 languages, and why I started teaching languages. The short answer? No. So I decided to make one!

In this video, I share:

🎹 How foreign languages eventually overtook my first love (music).
💔 How a breakup led me to learn French in Paris.
💃🏾 How a love of Salsa and Bossa Nova music pulled me to Brazil and Argentina.
🇯🇵 How I ended up in Japan and fell in love with language teaching.
🇶🇦 What brought me to Qatar and then Egypt 🇪🇬.
✍🏼 Why I started my blog (I Will Teach You a Language) and how it evolved.
📖 What I am currently up to in my business (recently rebranded as StoryLearning®).
