Blenda Bernar

I am Brazilian and from the Northeast of Brazil, but I have lived half my life in Italy. I consider myself a citizen of the world, because I carry with me a little bit of every place I have visited. I love traveling, learning about cultures and I am passionate about languages. I speak four languages and am currently studying English, which is my favorite language. I enjoy walking, practicing yoga and going to quiet places to have coffee. I also love cooking, especially sweets. Last but not least: I am an architect, I am 29 years old and I live in Italy. My experience has been largely shaped by language exchanges, where I have not only shared my own language, but also learned others. Having learned and continuing to learn languages helps me understand the difficulties students face, allowing me to share methods that I myself apply in my life and that have helped me make this process more enjoyable. In my classes, students will learn to communicate naturally, like native speakers, using simple, everyday words. We explore topics ranging from cultural to more contemporary issues. My approach is not just to teach the language, but to empower the student to express themselves with confidence.
