  • Something to tell the world!

    I'm Anya. I'm trying to learn french, and I really like history, especially history that usually is not told. I really like talking to and meeting people from different places, especially if you can speak some french with me. I'm really into vintage fashion (especially 30s-50s, but any time period is cool),and I also love to sew.
    Salut, je m'appelle Anya. J'apprends le français depuis 3 ans. J'ai choisi le français parce que je suis canadienne-américaine, et j'ai un peu de famille à Montreal. J'adore apprendre les langues, je aimerais parler avec des gens ici en français! (je n'ai pas utilisé Google Translate ou une autre application pour traduire, alors je sais que mon français n'est pas parfait). J'aime lire et coudre, et si tu as une recommendation pour un livre en français qui est facile à lire, dis-moi!

    I don't typically initiate conversations on here because I'm not super outgoing, and I try to say hi to people, but if you want to chat feel free to reach out I promise I'm nice.

  • Favourite books/authors/films

    My favorite books are Aristotle and Dante Discover the secrets of the universe, akata witch and almost all rick riordan books. I mostly read YA, but lately I've been reading some classics etc
    I also listen to a lot of music, so here are some artists I like (in no particular order)
    ~girl in red
    ~Mother Mother
    ~Jake Wesley Rogers
    ~Rina Sawayama
    ~The Beatles
    ~Taylor Swift
    ~Conan Gray
    ~Maneskin
    ~King Princess
    ~Queen

  • Cities and countries I have visited

    I have been to Croatia, Germany, Portugal, Denmark, and Canada. (and of course the USA) I really like going to new places and meeting new people.

  • My interests in other cultures

    I am interested in how schools work in different countries, and what it is like for kids, because often when culture is discussed or you visit a country, it is mostly the adult culture you see. I am also interested in most things about other cultures.

  • Living abroad for one year

    I would probably like to go to France or Quebec, because I think emersion would be a good way to work on my French. I would go anywhere though.

  • Making the world a better place

    I think that we should all work toward using renewable engergy, and transition away from carbon.

  • Improving the school system

    I wish that language was taught in more US schools starting in Kindergarten. Right now, we start in 7th grade, way to late. I also wish the math they taught us was more useful. My grandmother has a magnet that says "I am so glad I learned about parallelograms in high school math instead of how to do my taxes, it comes in handy during parallelogram season" I think that illustrates it well

    I also wish good education was more accessible in lower income areas, so people didn't need to have money to learn well.

  • A career without obstacles

    I want to be a Journalist of Newspaper/Magazine editor. I love writing, and informing others. The person who inspires me to want to do this is Nellie Bly. She was an investigative reporter, who changed a lot. She went undercover in an asylum and wrote a piece called "Ten Days In a Madhouse" and helped change conditions.

  • I recently learnt...

    I've been learning to sew and knit recently, and it's really fun to be able to make things yourself, and have a vision in your head and make it come true.
