Mental and cultural openness is a fundamental element of my personality. I spent the first part of my life in North Rhine-Westphalia and, thanks to the values I received, I will always carry within me an understanding and mentality from Germany: my German soul. At the same time, I am living my adult life in Italy, where I put down roots and founded my family and my business. The Italian mentality and outlook are perfectly understandable to me, they have now become a part of me.

My story shows that learning a foreign language does not only mean mastering a different grammar and vocabulary, but there is also much more: a language reflects the culture, mentality, vision and sensitivity of a people (or a language community). Understanding and appropriating a new language allows us to better understand the point of view and position of our interlocutors, it is an invaluable added value that makes it possible to better understand each other in international contexts. Acquiring a new language means acquiring a new empathy, preventing intercultural misunderstandings, and promoting functional global collaboration.
