Hello, minna-san! My name is Maridine. I’m currently studying Linguistics, due to my interest in the nature of human languages. I believe that my best quality is being able to see the world in an optimist’s perspective. I have a sunny disposition which compels me to share my geniality to others. I like being around people and interacting with them; although, I like solitude just as much. I enjoy reading books and manga, writing stories, dancing ballet, watching anime and cartoons, surfing the Net, and studying languages. Aside from English, I am familiar with Spanish, French, Italian, Filipino and a little bit of Japanese. I love teaching as well, and I have tutored people in different subjects for the past 3 years. I dream of visiting different countries and immersing myself in their culture, language and food.
