Blancapm - Profile

Hello! My name is Blanca, I’m from Madrid, Spain, born and raised there. I moved to Portugal five years ago for studies and I stayed here doing a PhD in Linguistics, specialised in Discourse Analysis. I absolutely LOVE languages, always have, always will. I speak fluently Portuguese, English and French (although it’s been a couple of years since I practice, so I would like to refresh it), besides Spanish, of course. I’m teaching myself Italian and soon I’ll start learning Chinese. Also, a couple of years ago I lived 6 months in Serbia and learnt some Serbian. I fell in love with that language, but it is extremely hard to find a(n affordable) Serbian teacher in Porto, so I’ve forgotten most of it. I will eventually go back to Serbian, but since I’ll start learning Chinese I feel it might be too much for now. This year, I’ve made a resolution: I want to become a hyperpolyglot, and by the age of 30 I intend to speak 10 languages. We’ll see how that goes, but right now I’m super excited! This year I will focus on practicing as much Italian as I can, refreshing my knowledge of French and starting Chinese. So, for now, I’m looking for someone who can help me with Italian and French conversation. In exchange, I can help you with Spanish (I’m also a Spanish teacher so I can solve any doubt you might have), as well as with Portuguese and even with English (I do have my accent, but I think I speak a pretty acceptable English!!). My interests are mainly languages and literature, music, art, nature and animals, though I like pretty much everything, I have many interests. Please, contact me if you feel we can help each other, looking forward to it!
