Bonjour
"My name is Maxime (Max), and I believe learning new languages can lead to strong friendships, more opportunities, and unexpected adventures that will enrich your life".
My Story
Since I was little, I have always enjoyed coming together with others to celebrate the natural beauties of France. Each family within the community would bring signature dishes, pairing them with fine wine, and tasty desserts. Adults would tell stories and kids would share jokes during summer barbeques.
Upon growing up, I decided to travel and see more of the world. While travelling with-in 19 different countries; Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Japan to name a few, I learned to appreciate the usefulness of knowing multiple languages. It can be helpful when; creating trip plans, scheduling hotels, ordering meals, and meeting new people to ask for directions or advice. With my persistent attitude and creative spirit, I was able to overcome many obstacles while learning another language. Once I had gained confidence while speaking in another language, I was then able to meet more people and make meaningful friendships. With those friendships I was able to climb Mt. Fuji, see kangaroos in Australia, beautiful designs in Taiwan, cook in Japan, and meet my wife in New Zealand.
I could not have experienced these wonderful moments without first trying to learn another language! This is why I would like to inspire others to broaden their horizons and learn English with me.

My Story
Travelling is a big part of my life. From California's Golden Gate Bridge to New York's Empire State Building, from the woods of Oregon to the seas of Japan. With every unexplored place there is always something new and exciting to experience. While traveling you learn to embrace differences and share your own. But in-order to share with others it is important to make an effort to talk in their language. Learning a new language takes commitment, effort, patience, and most importantly courage.
I've worked in multiple jobs that require great communication to better assist customers. If I failed to understand something, it was embarrassing; however, I wouldn't give up and continued until I could resolve the situation. After traveling to several countries, I have settled in Japan with my family.
