AN INTERVIEW

Hi bloggers!
Today I´m doing a interview to a person that has immigrate to Europe. Nowadays she is living with her husband and doughter in Malta, but she was born in Peru.

• When did you come to Europe?

Well, I first came to a wedding of some friends to Barcelona like, 10 years ago. There i met with some people that offered me a job in Malta. So a thought that it could be a very interesting experience and I moved there.

• In what type of work were you working?

I started working as a spanish teacher but only to few people in a small academy. Then the academy was restored and more people came to it. By the time i´m still working as a spanish teacher but is only for business people, i don´t teach them the spanish language like verbs and things like that , I only teach them tecnicalithies for meetings and those things.

• Do you like your job?

Yes , I think that it is quite interesting becouse I meet people from all over the world and from different cultures that came to Malta to learn some languages. In the other hand , i think that to do this job for the rest of my life it can be boring, so i decided to change of job every 10 years.

• So... what would like to do in some years? Have you be working in another type of work before??

I don´t know yet (laughs), but i want to do something very different...and ... yes, when I lived in Peru i worked as a secretary and I tried more jobs more while i was studing at the university. Ah! and  this summer too i have been the leader of a spanish group of teenagers that were here learning English.

• Coming back to your migration. How did you feel when you arrive in Europe??

Well, it first I was very sad becouse I left my family in Peru and I was in a foreign country, i had some friends there but they were working or with their families all the time so i only could see them some ours per week.  Also, I have to say that people from Malta aren´t very nice with foreign people, so in my first months i was very alone . But then, i realised that I was in a very exciting country and that there were a lot of activities to do. In those activities i met a lot of people -and not only from Malta- and i did many friends. After that, I met my husband.

Would you like to stay living in Malta or are you going to come back to Peru?

Well, by the time I´m living in Malta but I may move with my family to an other european country, i was thinking qbout Spain, because I love Barcelona.

• Okay, thank you very much. I had interviewed Julia Guerrero, a immigrant living in Malta.
