Lila
My name is Lila and I'm French. I studied French and Japanese literature at university and then lived in Japan for a year. I've been teaching French for over a year through plays, dialogues, novels and many other elements of French culture. I'm passionate about language learning. I'm currently learning German and Finnish. |
