A Language Lover’s Journey

 

My name is Lise-Marie Teixeira, a French native with Portuguese roots.
Passionate about culture and languages from a very young age, a love passed down by my mother, who taught me early on the importance of opening up to the world through language learning and cultural discovery.

Naturally, I pursued a literary and linguistic path. Along the way, I deepened my knowledge of several languages and had the chance to take part in two language exchange programs in Spain, the first in Barcelona and the second in Elche. These experiences revealed to me the beauty and richness of intercultural relationships.

Choosing to study languages at university quickly became an obvious decision. I began a degree in Spanish, then went on to complete a Master’s in Languages, Societies, Culture, and Tourism, during which I had the opportunity to join the Erasmus program twice.

First, I set sail for Valencia, where I spent a year, and later for Bilbao, where I stayed for six months. These unforgettable adventures were filled with wonderful encounters and complete immersion in the country closest to my heart.

Throughout my studies, I also supported students in learning both French and Spanish. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for teaching and my desire to share what I know with anyone eager to learn.

In 2023, keen to explore new horizons and improve my English, I moved to The Hague, in the Netherlands, where I currently teach French and Spanish to students from around the world.

I strive to share this passion with my learners and encourage them to embrace all that a language has to offer, through music, cinema, history, cultural heritage, and much more.

My goal: to support you in learning or improving a language in a warm, caring, and dynamic environment.
