My name is Stephanie and I am a native French speaker. I am a junior at Loyola, majoring in French. I was born in Saudi Arabia and raised there until I turned 6 when my family decided to move to Gabon. I lived there until I turned 10. I finally went to France to complete middle school and high school in Chambéry, Savoie. I have a two-year degree from the University of Toulon where I studied law, and a diplôme universitaire from the Journalism School of Marseille. I moved to New York City in 2006 to follow my passion in journalism as a freelance writer. I especially enjoy talking about food and travel.

Hallo! My name is Clara and I grew up in Erlangen, a small college town near Nuremberg in Bavaria. I lived there for 16 years before moving to Evanston, IL, to attend high school. I am currently a Senior at Loyola and I study Environmental Science. I have a very special connection to Germany and I love meeting people who study German and are interested in the country. I believe an important part of learning a language is practicing skills acquired in class and I cannot wait to get to know you in person through speaking German. I enjoy being in nature, making music, and meeting friends. I am both a language coach and a German tutor (through CTAE). Coaching focuses on conversation, anything you would like to talk about. This could include current activities, future plans, past adventures, but we can also make up stories and get very creative. (Tutoring tends to deal more with language patterns, grammar and specific concepts from class.) Please schedule a conversation with me on this link 
Monday 2:00-4:00pm Thursday 1:00-3:00pm

こんにちは! Hello, I’m Xiyuan Qin. Please call me Daisy if you find it easier to pronounce. I’m a senior majoring in Marketing and minoring in Japanese Language and Culture. As someone who loves traveling, I’ve visited 11 cities in Japan, and had experience of studying abroad in Sophia University, Tokyo in 2019. I would love to share my experience of Japanese language learning with you and listen to your story about Japanese language and culture. Feel free to schedule a session with me if you have any questions, or simply want to discuss pop cultures such as Anime or Idol with some one (in Japanese, of course! :D).

Witam!

My name is Angelica and I am a sophomore at LUC. I am majoring in Biology with an emphasis in Molecular Biology. I come from a native Polish-speaking household, making Polish my first language with English coming in second. So far with my time at Loyola, I have taken a POLS103 and finished the class with an A+. Additionally, I attended Polska Szkoła im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie from grades one to eleven. This included curriculum including Polish cultures & customs, history, geography, religion, etc. Another big part of our studies was interpersonal conversations. I would love to help you practice those skills too! Feel free to come and chat about food, nature, culture, music, fun activities, and more in Polish during my available times!

I am available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 – 3:00pm. If you have classes during these times I would be more than happy to schedule an appointment with you.

Do Zobaczenia!

Привет! Hi Everyone! My name is Sofia Vilchynska. I was born and raised in Lviv, Ukraine and I moved to the United States at the age of ten.

I would love to share my knowledge of the Russian language and culture with you.  Please stop by whether you would like some Russian movie recommendations, recipes or help with conversation and grammar. I can’t wait to meet you! До встречи!

Hola a todos! My name is Francesca Marchese González (She/Her) and I’m a Senior double-majoring in Global & International Studies and Women’s Studies & Gender Studies. I was born and raised in Guatemala, the first country of Central America, known for its “eternal spring”, and moved to Chicago to pursue my studies at LUC. Being both Guatemalan and Italian, language learning is something I’m very familiar with since I grew up speaking 2 languages. I know learning a new language can be hard, but it’s so much fun learning about the culture and people behind the language! I can’t wait to tell you all about Guatemala and being a dual-citizen in our conversations! Nos vemos pronto!
