I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people. And here I am!!

I studied English Linguistics, and I always thought "what would my future job be?". I always wanted to have a fun, light, easy going and not too hard to do job, but always wanted to be with people. And here I am!!
From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change.
In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning, different than me and my friends and family. With teaching languages, I have been able to do all the former, which leads me to think it was the right choice.
I tried working in an office once, in a job that was not as stressful as a teacher's job but after a year, and after missing the classrooms a lot, I decided to go back to stressful, challenging but rewarding teaching.
Nowadays, I am thinking on taking up on PHD studies in the field of Applied Linguistics, I would like to do it either in the Netherlands, Switzerland and/or England; although nowadays and considering the wide experience on multilingualism they've got, I have been thinking quite seriously on going to India instead.
I would like to do it in those countries, well, in the two first ones because they have a long history of successful multilingualism and because they are definitely good at languages. England on the other hand, would be my last choice, and this is because of a fact that gave birth to a joke, that is, - and please, no offense-, but the joke says: "how do you call a person who speaks only one language? […] you call them British"...LOL
When I decided to study Film Studies, I wanted to be with people too! But not because I am a social person, it's because I like team work, it makes work easier and funnier, in my opinion.
ResponderBorrarI would like to travel around the world too! I like the idea of knowing new cultures

ResponderBorrarSince I was in high school I proposed to myself that I would travel to many countries because I think it's very interesting know new people, cultures and lenguages.
ResponderBorrarIs very interesting want to meet strange people and help them to learn other ways of comunnication. In this way, is a very altruist idea to combine with the teaching lenguages.

ResponderBorrarI love the idea of generating profound changes in society through our work. The most beautiful thing is that it can be applied to teaching, film studies and many other study programs.
Shared whit people and travel the world allways is a good reason to choose a studies... (ajajaja good joke)
ResponderBorrarI believe we can all do a social change from our positions. I study Film Studies, hope to make a change from that area. Let's make social changesss peopleeee
ResponderBorrarI would like to travel someday too, I want to meet different cultures and people, I'm thinking of going (someday) to Norway, Australia and maybe to Finland. If I can, obviously :)
ResponderBorrarI want to travel too, I think it's one of the most beautiful things in the world. Whatever the area where you work is always possible to travel and meet different people!!!
ResponderBorrarI had just make me a bad idea of a British person, how you suppose i could saw "Peep show" now?
ResponderBorrarI think that a year in a job that doesn't make you happy is very complicated. Respect!
ResponderBorrarOne of the most important reasons because I decided study journalism, also I thought was to help people
ResponderBorrarI study cinema, because I believe that with this we can fight against the Yankee Empire and its cultural propaganda, jeje
ResponderBorrarOne of the reasons why I want to be a filmmaker is to travel the world too!
