Hi there! I'm Olivia.
👋Growing up in Zug, Switzerland in a multilingual family - partly French-speaking, partly English-speaking - a life as a polyglot was forced upon me or, to put it more elegantly, my destiny.
🌍I then went on to live abroad for six years, in France and Italy. I fell head over heels in love with the local ways of life, history, art and cuisine, arriving at the conclusion that language and culture are involuntarily and inseparably linked.
✅Language is culture - and culture is language.
🥰I devoted myself to linguistic studies, not only learning the language but immersing myself fully into it. I was having a blast.
✖And NO - learning languages doesn't have to be a tedious task.
👉Since 2018, I have been working as a teacher, translator and interpreter. My goal is for my students to be seized by the same burning passion that has possessed me ever since.
🧠Or less dramatically: make languages cool again - because they are!
