And so I was helping my students to learn English, but at the same time I was living in another country that wasn't my native country and I had to use French on a daily basis. And I was facing language challenges and trying to navigate things in a second language and making mistakes. And so I was helping them. And at the same time I was having the experience of using my second language. And after that I did some other things. And then I came back to a language teaching in Paris when I lived in Paris.

What do you do if a client has a question and presenting the spa. So it was a very unusual setting for an English class, but it was a fun setting as well. And then in addition, I was also sent to a hotel, once again, a luxury hotel. A hotel is a hotel and spa. And I was working with the director of the hotel with the marketing manager and a couple people, other people. But it was very interesting because once again, there was no classroom.

I mean, I had a great French teacher. She was very, very sweet. But at that time, language learning was a lot of grammar. So she was from the classroom, she would explain in grammar point, we would do grammar exercises, share answers, maybe do some reading out loud and a little bit of writing. But in terms of speaking or listening, those were almost non-existent. And we didn't have the opportunity to speak that now in my classroom, students are speaking all the time. So that was something that I think it's better now with emphasis on speaking and limiting teacher speaking time. And in college, I enjoyed my college friend classes.
