Hi! I’m Dana, from Spain. I’m 25 and currently a postgraduate student. I studied Linguistics and Literature and I’m now specializing in Translation. So, as you can see, I have a big interest in languages; the complexity and perfection of the internal structure of all languages amazes me, but also how each language seems to carry the soul of its culture.

After I graduated from college, I spent a year writing and recording music, as well as performing music live with a band. After that, I spent a year living at a Yoga retreat center in the mountains of Northern California. From there I went to India, where I backpacked around the country and ended up supporting myself by teaching English and acting in a Bollywood TV show. I lived in hotels, ashrams, dharamsalas, tents, huts, hostels, you name it! It was a great adventure.

Never be afraid of making mistakes! Making mistakes is the best way to learn. If we get something wrong one time and are corrected we are far less likely to get it wrong again! Also, ask lots of questions! If you don’t understand something, even a little, don’t be afraid to ask! I’m sure that not just me, but all of the tutors on Cafetalk are more than happy to help you in any way we can!

I’m interested in people’s stories, everyone has something special to tell. I lived in so many places and met so many interesting, funny, incredibly kind people …you know, it’s all about people!

It is said that children learn languages easily from their environment, because they are in an environment where language can happen and then learning a language happens. So my advice is to speak as much as possible and be surrounded by the language you want to learn every day (listening to the radio, podcasts, watching TV, and listen to music, or even things like setting your iphone into another language).
