Dear German students :blush:
On Wednesday May 15th. I will start a new job. I will be busy getting used to all the new information etc. therefore I will only do occasional Chatterbug LLā€™s. Iā€™m a bit sad to not see you all anymore! I enjoy my classes with you! Itā€™s a great pleasure for me to see your progress. I will miss our conversations! Thank you all for your trust! Take care and keep studying : ) Hopefully until soon!
A virtual hug :hugs: Bettina

Hello everyone :sunflower:
My name is Bettina, Iā€™m originally from the German part of Switzerland. Almost 17 years ago I left Switzerland with my family, we emigrated to Coyhaique in the south of Chile. I speak German, English, Spanish and still remember a bit of French unfortunately I mix up the French with Spanish. Before I got married I used to travel a lot.
Speaking different languages helped me a lot then and now here in Patagonia. So in summer I work as a tour guide with the cruise liners in English and German. I enjoy chatting with people from all over the world, tell them about nature and culture in Patagonia. At the same time, I learn a lot about other places and customs. It keeps me in touch with the world, since we live either at the end or at the beginning of the world :wink: .
Last year I started to teach German to teenagers here in Coyhaique. I really enjoy the classes with them.
I started to give Babymassage classes here in the south two years ago. Our family business now, is farming. We breed Angus cattle and have a lot of hens to sell ā€œHappy Eggsā€.
I love to explore our region and to discover new beautiful places in my free time with my family. My hobbies are traveling, spending time with my family, reading a good book, meeting up with friends, watching good movies and a lot more : )
Iā€™m looking forward to get to know you and to help you discover the German Language :blush:
