About Mael

Hello, future students and fellow French language enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself and share the journey that has brought me here, to the crossroads where my passion for the French language meets my eagerness to teach and share this beautiful culture with you. Who I Am: Born and raised in Strasbourg, a city as rich in history as it is in culture, I grew up immersed in the beauty of the French language, its literature, music, and art. This environment cultivated in me not just a love for my native tongue but a profound appreciation for the nuances that make French such a vibrant and expressive language. Moving to the United States in the summer of 2022 to pursue my dreams as a student athlete in waterpolo at San José State University, I encountered a diverse tapestry of cultures and languages. This experience has been both challenging and exhilarating, teaching me the universal importance of communication and understanding.
