Lynn's avatar'

Besides my studies, I am working as an assistant teacher in a class for refugees and as a preschool teacher at a refugee center. Therefore, helping others to learn German is not only my passion, but also part of my daily life. I love exploring new ideas, different cultures and ways of living and thinking so you’ll find me often here on Journaly.

Berlin, Deutschland

취미와 직업

취미 모두 알다시피 사람들은 좋아하는 것이 다 달라요. 제 취미는 책 읽기, 짧은 이야기 쓰기, 외국어 공부하기예요. 새로운 언어를 배우는 것은 재미있지만 시간이 많이 걸린다고 생각해요. 그러나 그것은 언어마다 달라요. 영어와 독일어는 비슷해서 영어를 혼자 공부하는 것보다 한국어를 혼자 공부하는 것이 더 어려워요. 직업 누군가가 내 직업을 물어보면 어떻게
