About me
Who am I?
I grew up in a small village near Paris and studied English and Russian at Sorbonne Nouvelle, then completed a Master’s in Slavic studies and anthropology at Sorbonne University.
Until I turned 18, I could barely speak English, and my Spanish was even worse. Today, I speak six languages: French, English, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Mandarin Chinese.
How did that happen?
Not thanks to talent or a perfect memory, but through immersion.
When I was 20, I spent a summer working in Barcelona in Spain. I arrived barely able to form a sentence, and three months later, I was chatting fluently with locals over tapas.
In Russia, I studied at a university in Irkutsk, deep in Siberia. The first months were tough. I barely understood anything, but that full immersion forced me to really learn the language.
Later, in Türkiye, daily life helped me absorb Turkish naturally, simply by interacting with people.
Each of these experiences taught me something essential: the best way to learn a language is to live it.

Istanbul, Türkiye (2023-2024)
In 2024, I followed a long-time dream and studied Mandarin at Tsinghua University in Beijing. There, I deepened my understanding of how the brain learns and remembers languages.

In 2025, I returned to Türkiye to launch new projects and help learners reach their personal and professional goals through smarter, real-life-focused language learning.
