Hi! I am Larissa I am 33 years old and have been living in México for 8 years now. I am originally from Wiesbaden in Germany.
I am a Veterinarian and an active rider.
I have worked with horses since I can remember and they are my greatest passion.
Here, on our Ranch, I opened an Equestrian Center 5 years ago, so 3 times a week in the afternoons, I teach people to ride horses.
Living in Mexico and working with Chatterbug has widened my horizon in so many ways. I have met people from all over the world, speaking with them about their cultures, their difficulties in new surroundings and it has inspired me so much.
Chatterbug
I became a tutor on Chatterbug in October 2018 and I enjoy it a lot. I am fluent in English and Spanish and have good knowledge of French. German is my native language.
I know how it feels to arrive to a new country and to not understand a single word. When I came to México I thought that because I live close to the US border, everybody will talk English. But that was not the case. I had to learn the hard way.
Far away from Friends and family with not a single word of Spanish.
In retrospect, it was the most efficient way of learning a language. At some point you just let go of the selfconciousness and the fear of sounding ridiculous. Nobody cares! Everybody was lovely and helpful on my journey to mastering this New language…
I love meeting so many new people here on the platform and exchanging experiences.
We, the tutors, are here to listen to you. Do not be scared of being judged for making mistakes. That is the most natural thing during language learning and we are here to help you with exactly that.
In the future I would love to learn italian.
I have two children, my son is 4 years old and my daughter is 2 years old. We raise our children bilingually, so my mexican husband is also sloooowly learning German.
I enjoy reading, riding, traveling and spending time with my friends and family.
My favourite food is Italian food, especially Pasta.
