I started learning Spanish in 1985. We formed a ClubCastellano based on the group at that time and we were always looking for opportunities to study further with different teachers.

Since 1989 I have been working as a guide with Spanish-speaking tourists. It is this work that has allowed me to practice the language actively and to constantly improve my skills. In 1994 1996, I attended a Master’s course at the University of Bergen on Spanish language and Latin American studies. The next two years were really intense academic study years, but also a time of many interesting meetings and friendships with Spanish-, English-, and Norwegian-speaking students.

In 1996, I started teaching Spanish, doing both interpreting and translating, and also continued to work as a guide.

I started working as a Spanish teacher at the Multilingua Language Centre in April 1999.

In 2023, I took part in the A-level training course for teachers of Estonian and since then I have also been teaching Estonian.

It is important for me that the students come to the class happy and leave feeling happy, and that we can all acknowledge that we have learned something new.
