Hi all you people out there! My name is Mariella. Born in Salzburg and live in Graz now. Where I studied to become a primary school teacher. During my two first years of work I also made the Master in German as a Foreign/Second Language. I love to work with kids, even if a lot of energy is needed. But they are giving you so much back, it's hardly to find anywhere else. And this pure honesty a child shows you is fascinating as well as pretty funny sometimes. :-) I studied "German as a Foreign/Second Langauge" for two main reasons - having the chance to go abroad and finding (more or less easily) a Job. I mean with this education I have at least always the possibility to try to settle somewhere else. You never know what happens. ;-) Second reason - I just like it to work with people from somewhere else. To share different views of life and cultures. During my studies I stayed at Norway for 5 months as an exchange student in 2010. This was maybe one of my best expiriences ever. Im adding this to the "About Me" section, because a small piece of my heart is still there and I simply love this country. :-) I think all above shows you that I love being around people, getting to know new people and cultures. I'm very open-minded and there are not a lot things I hate as much as intolarance and discrimination.
