Can you introduce yourself to us?

Hi, my name is Manuela, I'm 19 years old, I'm from Brazil specifically from Rio de Janeiro. I've lived here for 9 months now, I'm studying English and I'm going to college soon. I love cooking, makeup and playing sports, especially volleyball, so basically that's me.

What are you doing at MOSAIC and are you enjoying it?

I take the English course, I'm in the intermediate class, and I've been at MOSAIC for 7 months. I started with the beginners class. I love the classes and the place.

What do you like the most about MOSAIC?

Obviously I love the classes, but I think what I like the most is the fact that I got to meet new people from different countries. The people who work at Mosaic are extremely sweet, the teachers are extremely attentive and willing to help you whenever you need it. There is also a conversation class there (for free) which is very good to practice your English, there is a very good energy there, I feel very good.

Where/what do you usually go/do if you do not work or study?

I go to the gym a lot, I like to try new cuisines, I also go to parks or ice skate.

Anything you want to talk about?

MOSAIC plays a very important role in my life and not only because I learned English there, but because there I met incredible people who are now my friends.

I have a lot of admiration for the people who work there and above and I respect everything, because they helped me when I needed it and gave me encouragement when I was discouraged.

Do you recommend the English programs you are in to your friends?

I highly recommend the course for anyone who needs to learn English or still has some difficulties in the language. There you learn and feel very comfortable to clear up doubts even if they seem silly.
