My first introduction to the Spanish language was in 1999 when I participated in a student exchange program to Argentina and lived in a small town called Goya with an Argentine family for about 10 months. At that time, my knowledge of Spanish was very limited, and the Argentine family did not speak English at all, so I had to carry a dictionary everywhere to communicate with the family and school friends. Therefore, at that time, my vision and mission for learning Spanish was to be able to communicate with the Argentine family and friends.

After returning from Argentina, I continued studying Spanish in Jakarta until 2007, when I had the opportunity to work in Spain for approximately four years. There, I gained a lot of work experience, including working as a translator and interpreter for both the Indonesian and Spanish governments.

Currently, I work as a translator and Spanish language tutor at “Ngobrol yuk!”
