My name is Gizella Cabral Gigliotti. I am originally from Brazil and have been living in New Zealand for seven years. My mother tongue is Portuguese, but I also speak Italian and Spanish. Before moving to New Zealand, I had studied a little English at school, but I wanted to improve my skills, which led me to study at DynaSpeak. This semester, I have been studying at the 3B-AA level. My experience at DynaSpeak has been very positive—I have improved my grammar, vocabulary, and writing, and being immersed in an English-speaking country has made a big difference compared to my studies in Brazil. Studying at DynaSpeak has not only helped me develop my English skills but also given me a greater understanding of New Zealand culture. One of the most memorable aspects of my time here has been the coexistence and exchange of knowledge between people from cultures very different from my own. Looking ahead, my long-term goal is to get a master’s degree in my field, and I am committed to taking the necessary steps to achieve this after completing my studies.
