Hello! My name’s Marie. I’m thirteen years old and I’m from France, but my parents are from Morocco. At home we speak French and Arabic. At school I learn French and I study English and Spanish too. I love languages. I’d like to be an English teacher one day. On holidays we usually go down to Morocco and I speak Arabic with my relatives there. Arabic is very difficult! Did you know that they write from right to left?
