Hi, I'm Sana. Welcome! 

I started giving language tutorials on Duolingo in the summer of 2021 because I have a passion for learning languages and discovering other cultures by meeting new people. Having over 5 years of experience teaching English and French independently (virtual tutoring through my own business) and at Linguallama Academy (located in New Jersey, USA), I have gained valuable skills and helped people of all ages and backgrounds. 

My goal at the Language Lounge is to create a casual and friendly atmosphere where we can learn from each other and grow together. The material I use and the lesson structure are all designed by me, unless otherwise stated. You can find and read material from previous sessions throughout my website here, for English and French practice.

I speak English and French fluently, and my Spanish is advanced (B2/C1 level). I am currently learning Italian, Mandarin, Russian and Swahili, but there are many more languages and cultures I would like to explore (Arabic is high on the list!). 

P.S. Curious about the use of orange around here?  From Ancient Greek muses to Buddhist monks, the orange colour has always been highly valued. Among other things, orange can symbolise new beginnings, positive energy, and adventure... all great things to keep in mind when learning a new language!
