Speaking of my hobbies, music is a big part of my life and I can’t live without it. Sometimes, I listen to music to learn English. I like watching TV series and my favorite is How I Met Your Mother. I have already watched it 3 times.

Hi class!

My name is Maria and I was born in Barcelona. Despite that I spent all my childhood in Vilafant (Alt Empordà).

When I was eighteen, I moved to Barcelona to study a telecommunications engineering degree. After finishing my degree, as I was already working in Barcelona and my parents had moved to Tarragona, I decided to stay here!

At my job, I've worked on diverse projects. I started doing coverage studies for municipalities, but now I'm doing audiovisual projects (like for museums or auditoriums) and security projects, such as video surveillance.

That said, my passion is cinema and photography, and I would love to find a job where I can combine my studies with my passion. However, I’m not actively searching yet, because I first want to study a Master’s in Computer Vision. The only drawback is that a B2 level in English is mandatory, and that’s the reason why I’m here!

And this is my first time in an english academy!

Hi everyone,

My name is Lourdes. I was born in a village in Huesca, but I came to live in Barcelona when I started working as a primary school teacher.

I'm retired now, so I have plenty of time to do what I love.

I started studying English right after I retired, first at an adult school, but the level there was very low, and when I finished, I stopped studying for two or three years, until last year when I signed up at the EOI, where things are very different.

I like languages, so I'm also studying French, this year a sort of seminar about French songs.

After retiring, I also learned to sew, and time flies when I do it.

I love mountaineering and dancing zumba.

And traveling!

And even though I'm not a big reader, I can appreciate and enjoy a good book.

Mates, it's a pleasure to be part of this group and move forward together. Greetings to all.
