Salut ! (as we say in French to greet on an informal way)
My name is Giulia, I'm 23 years old. I was bord and I've been raised in France.
I'm not a total beginner, but nearly ! I know how to cook good pasta (taught by my Italian friend Anna), risotto, eggs, some fruit compotes, but that's all ! I have nearly everything to learn in cooking.
I've started cooking a few weeks ago, in order not to become too crazy with administrative stuff (and they make you easily driving nuts !).
I've learnt well before cooking... languages ! Besides French, my mother tongue, I've learnt Italian, English and Modern Greek (mom was looking at me like if I were totally mad when I told her that I choose Modern Greek as 3rd language for (French) High School, and when she learnt that the only solution was at distance, she was driving nuts ! But with my 18/20 at the oral exam, where you have to explain a text (all in Greek, and the cherry on the sundae is that the examinator chose one of the most difficult text I've studied, even the most difficult one (because of plenty of idioms, some of them you hear only in Crete, a Greek island) : I was in panic when he told me he had chosen this text for me to comment !), and explaining a text in Greek is even more difficult than translating it because you have to know the technical terms to comment the text, mom was proud and regretted to look at me like if I were crazy when I told her that I've chosen Modern Greek as 3rd foreign language). So I'm able to read a recipe in these 4 languages :)
I would have liked to become an interpreter, but with my Single Sided Deafness, I had to give up at the moment (French, and sometimes European laws are quite stupid !)....
