Hi, my name is Julie 8you can pronounce Julia if it is easier for you) and I'm a french engineer student in exchange here at UNAL for sixth months. I live in a flat with four persones, all foreigners. I love collective sports, such as football or rugby and I'm eager to start playing here. I also love nature, hiking and camping. Medellin pleases me a lot with its people, its buildings and parks and its surrounding moutains. I want to improve in english and learn from your teaching methods. Also, it is very interesting for me to get used to your english accent as I hope to work with native spanish speakers in the future. Best regards.
