Hi there!

My name is Gala. I am from Ukraine and have been living in Vancouver for 4 months for now.

I have two higher educations (sociology and psychology), but all my life I have been working managing people or projects.

Now I work as a project manager in a Ukrainian Digital Agency, and I really like my job and my colleagues.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching movies or series and walking around discovering Vancouver.

I am very happy to study with you, guys, on this course! And I will be glad to meet you live to drink tea or take a walk and, of course, improve our English in conversations :)

Hi everyone,

I am Lewisa and have been living in Vancouver with my family for nine years. I worked in the garment industry in China before I came to Canada.

I enjoy Vancouver’s mild weather. It is neither too hot or cold so that I can walk in trails, parks and beaches, and see the beauty of the nature year round, even on rainy days. Also, I like listening to music and watching movies.

I am glad to study English with you all. I hope we can achieve our goals in this class. Let’s keep it up!

Hi everyone,

I'm Elisa. Please bear me for posting my cat's photo. I don't have my own picture on hand because I'm currently on a trip. I came from a small city called Jinan in China. Then I moved to Vancouver 8 years ago. I like baking, singing, shopping, golfing and hanging out with my cats.

I call myself a crazy cat lady. You probably understand why just by taking a glimpse on my cat's photo. How adorable he is! I have two other cats. If I have chance, I will share more details about them to everyone.

Afterall, it's nice to improve my English in LINC program. Also, I feel honored to have a chance to meet all of you.

Many thanks!

Hello my dear classmates,

My name is Maha. I have been in Canada for five years. I live with my family now. I have two sisters and two brothers.

I was born and grew up in Douma in Syria. In my childhood, I played with other kids in the neighbourhood. I studied till grade six. Then, I couldn’t continue my studying because of my situation. Afterwards, when I was 19 years old, I left Syria to Jordan because of the war. After I had lived in Jordan for 3 years, I moved to Canada. I started learning English from Level 1 at VCC. I like drawing and going to the beaches. I like kayaking as well. Unfortunately, I am not able to work due to my health condition. Even though, I wish I could be an interpreter in future. I’ll try my best to have a good life independently.

Nice to meet all of you.

Hi everybody,

I'm Mouna and I'm from Tunisia. I came to Canada in 2020 and I moved from Richmond to Vancouver last year.
Now, I live with my husband and I'm studying English and working at Safeway at the same time.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to do some outside activities that's why I prefer watching sports and TV. Also, I love traveling and animals, especially dogs.

When I will finish studying English, I will try to study another course and I expect to have a good job in a hospital.

Hello everyone!

I'm Mika. I came from Japan! I've worked at a Japanese company as a supervisor server in Vancouver for 4 years.
Now I'm trying to focus on my English and my next career.

I used to travel for my relaxation or to release my stress, but since we've got covid, my hobby changed to cooking! These days I like to go walking and running for my health. Hope I can visit and travel to the countries where you guys came from soon though.

In Vancouver, we can find a lot of nature easily, friendly people, and not be too busy and crowded. That's why I like here.

Thank you!
