Languages
My love for
languages.
I dedicate this page to my grandpa, who like me loves learning languages. In 1968 he left communist Czechoslovakia to practice medicine in Mexico for one year. In 2018, I sat with him, my grandma, and my Colombian ex-boyfriend — over 50 years later — in his home, while my grandpa still spoke fluent Spanish with us.
He speaks Russian, German, English, Spanish, and Czech. I feel like he understands this part of me very closely.

// On mixing languages
People often ask whether I mix languages up. In my experience, languages blur most when they haven't yet fully matured in your mind — when a language doesn't yet have its own lived experience tied to it. But the more a language matures, the more independent it becomes. Each one starts to have its own interior world.

Learn with me
I offer private lessons in French, Spanish, Czech, and English. My approach is conversation-first — grammar when it's useful, immersion when it works better. Lessons are tailored to where you are and where you want to go.
French
From basics to fluency. Conversational, professional, or just for travel — whatever you need.
Spanish
Fast-track if you already know French or Italian. Start from scratch if not — the vocabulary rewards you quickly.
Czech
One of the harder Slavic languages, but incredibly rewarding. Great if you have family roots or just love a challenge.
English
Accent reduction, business English, conversational confidence — or all three. Taught with patience and honesty.
// An idea I'm testing
Bite-sized language lessons
I've been thinking about creating short, daily language lessons — ten minutes a day,
but designed in a way that actually sticks. Not flashcards. Not grammar drills.
Something that fits into a real life and builds real fluency over time.
Before I build it: two quick anonymous questions.
