I was inspired by my grandmother, Mrs. Kunz, to open my own language academy. I grew up in Fuerteventura at a time when it was difficult to get an education, due to the lack of schools. So I spent my youth in a place where it was very easy to go out and have fun or enjoy nature, but where there were hardly any training courses after basic education or high school. At the age of 17, I left the island and I made a promise to myself: if I ever returned to the island, I would do something to make things better. Seeing my classmates leave school to go to work in the tomato fields or to clean hotels left a mark on me. In the 1990s, speaking languages like English or German meant you could find a decent job. On the other hand, there were the foreigners, who didn’t speak Spanish and were isolated from local daily life. My grandmother believed in me and financed my studies, which took me to England, Switzerland, Germany and Madrid. I dedicate my educational project based on creating a bridge between two different worlds to her, to the strong woman in my family who spoke 5 languages fluently and was a pioneer for the women of her time: Dr. Ingeborg Zur-Kunz.
