About me
My full name is María Belén Farías Gutiérrez but nobody calls me María Belén. I’m Belén, a single Chilean woman, I’m 39 years-old and I live in Santiago. I’m from Chile and I was born in the capital city, on a rainy day, on May 22nd 1979. We’re a five-member family, my parents plus my brother, sister and I; and I'm the youngest because my sister Male and brother Felipe both are older than me. I also have a younger step-brother, Mauricio, a younger half-sister, Mariajosé.
I studied in the same school for twelve years and I’m still in contact with most of my classmates. After that, when I was 17, I worked sporadically and studied English for a year because I didn’t know what to study as a career but I finally decided I wanted to be a translator. I graduated as a translator in 2001 and then studied Pedagogía en Inglés so I became an English teacher in 2005 and also since the same year, I've been teaching Spanish to foreigners.
Since 2010 I've also been working as a tour guide and with my partner we have now our own tour business called Puelmapu Turismo Sustentable. I live with my partner and our two baby boys Santiago and Facundo.
I really like music, singing and sports. I play capoeira, practice yoga and rock climbing but I can’t go climbing as often as I’d like to. I love dancing too and I try to learn new songs in different languages.
Good Afternoon Miss! I think have direct contact with foreigners always will be something rewarding to learn or practice another language and it´s so exciting! hope you follow improve and getting always better in your work! bye.

Hi miss!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting about more things about you! I find it striking what it do.
Hi miss! I love your post, It's great to know a little bit more about our teachers. What interested me most about his publication was the fact that he keeps in touch with his classmates after so many years.
ReplyDeleteIt's very sweet
Hi Miss. Is very interesting your post, your life is very interesting, thanks for sharing his experiences. It is important for our student life to receive the example of what is vocation and service in teaching, and to know that what you do is what you like and that has allowed you to realize dreams and goals. It is known that when we share our dreams and goals with our life partner, these dreams become even deeper and more important, it is very enriching that you have shared that goal in common with your partner. Congratulations on your family and your children, the family is a very important bond that is always present. Also, I think they are very interesting their hobbies, as I also like yoga, along with dancing and listening to music, so I think it is a person who leads a full and integral life, which integrates all aspects human, sports and art itself.
ReplyDeleteHi Teacher, since I like sports, I find it interesting that you practice rock climbing, in what places have you practiced this sport? Regards!
