Languages have always been my strong suit. I have been speaking English since I was a toddler and I'm currently taking English Literature as an elective at the University of Cape Town. I am also a voracious reader of English fiction.

I completed my BSc Genetics degree in English. English is a difficult language to learn but not impossible. I find that by having English as an additional language, one can improve by reading, conversing, and watching movies in English. Broaden your vocabulary by one word a day.
