Who am I?

My name is Sarah Blanquet and I’m a passionate Spanish teacher.

I’ve been learning languages all my life (in fact, I speak 5) so I know the ups and downs you have to go through to master a new language. That’s why I decided to become a language teacher and help you achieve your learning objectives in a fun and efficient way.

In order to do so, I completed a degree in Translation and a Master Degree in Spanish teaching and I’m now a full-time online teacher who spends most of her days speaking to people from all over the world and sharing with them my language and my culture.

My passions (apart from teaching)

Travelling

I have visited over 20 countries and lived in 3 different continents! I’m always eager to meet new people and share experiences.

For me, travelling means to discover other ways of living and learning more about what it means to be human.

I’m particularly in love with Latin America, and I have traveled there extensively (Perú, Colombia, Panamá, Costa Rica and Brazil). 

I’ve also lived in different regions of Spain (Navarra, Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Galicia) which made me aware of the richness of this vast country. 

Finally, I’ve landed in Muxía, where I now enjoy living by the seaside at the end of the Camino de Santiago.

Languages

I was raised bilingual in Spanish and French: my parents are from Belgium but I grew up in Spain. At the age of 13, I lived in the U.S. where I quickly learned English. 

This marked the beginning of my interest in translation and different languages. 

Since then, I’ve also learned Italian, Portuguese, and a bit of Arabic!

Culture

It fascinates me to discover new music, arts, customs, dances and traditions. I believe all of them form the identity of  languages and you must dive into them to discover the richness of every culture. 

Moreover, my Master thesis was on Intercultural competence, a topic which interests me to this day.
