My name is María Fernanda Silva. I graduated from UNAM, I made my major in Hispanic Language and Literature. I was linguistics’ teacher assistant in my University (UNAM), a very enriching experience. I have a great level in English and Italian and a basic knowledge of French and German.

Even though studying foreign languages is something I love doing, the language that I love studying the most is my mother language: Spanish. I truly want to open the doors to the Spanish to all speakers in the world. I‘m a passionate reader and writer. I enjoy watching theatre plays and acting in them too. I love traveling, I’ve travelled to many places in Mexico but also to some countries of America and Europe. By traveling I realized that I can understand my own country, my own language, my own culture in a better way, and furthermore I can achieve a better understanding of myself.

My name is Erika Preciado. I studied English Teaching at The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). My academic training as an English teacher has been integrally connected with linguistics.

I have been teaching English for three years in diverse academic settings and developing lessons for a wide range of students. I am very passionate about making a real difference to people’s lives through teaching. My mother tongue is Spanish, I am fluent in English and I have general knowledge of French, Italian and Russian. I hold TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test), and IELS academic certifications.

The first language I fell for was music; I play the bass and I am still trying to learn piano, I also adore poetry, especially Hispanic poets. I enjoy meeting new people and knowing different cultures, I love traveling. I have been to Europe (Spain, Belgium and France) and Canada, but what I enjoy the most is re discovering my own country. Mexico has such a wide diversity in cuisine, amazing landscapes and so much cultural and historical things to offer.

My name is Citlalli Vargas Contreras. I studied Communication in UNAM. I studied English for six years and Italian for two years and I took French for almost six years too. At the moment I’m studying Icelandic in a self-taught way via online course at the University of Iceland. Also, I have the TOEFL certification with 598 points. I have taught private English classes to people between 23 and 40 years old.

I enjoy reading novels, poetry, comics and essays. Also, I like writing tales, poetry and essays, so I collaborate with different digital media. In 2015 I published a book of poems based on films under the Malos Pasos publishing house called Los Versos Imaginarios. I also like taking long walks around the city, staying at home listening to music, going to the cinema, visiting museums and taking naps with my cat. I consider myself a curious, sensitive and imaginative person, who is always willing to listen to other people’s stories and learn something new from them.

I have traveled almost all over the country and it always amazes me to find that within a single nation there are so many forms of language that are part of the vision that each place has of reality.
