Languages

English - rapidly forgetting how to be native speaker.               

Spanish - fluent but with a terrible accent.

Catalan - fluent but rusty.                      

Italian - B2, but fluent in hands.                                

French - B2, unless you ask a French person.

German - level unknown but proving Duolingo is not enough.

Interests

I like to read and go for walks. I also quite like architecture and art. Animals.
