Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
I studied Dutch and Spanish. Belgium has three official languages: French, Dutch and German. Being born in the French part of Belgium, I started learning Dutch in school when I was about 12 years old. At 16, I started learning Spanish as well, just for fun.
-
What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
I like swimming in the pool or in the ocean. I also like to walk on the beach and in nature. And at night, I enjoy reading. I used to read in English when I first moved to the US, but now I am reading in French again.
-
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
Mussels and fries, which is the national dish of Belgium. We serve it with a dressing on the side, a mix of mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. I usually cook them at home, but I found that the restaurant Crème de la crêpe has very good ones.
-
What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
I consider my hometown the place where I grew up and where a lot of my family members still live. Small, peaceful, and a lot of trees. My best childhood memories.
-
What is your favorite word in your language and why?
Écureuil (squirrel). I like how it sounds. When learning French, it is sometimes challenging to pronounce the “r”, so I find it fun to teach my students how to correctly pronounce that word. Also, écureuils are cute, aren’t they?
