Languages, travel and cultural immersion

About me

Hi! My name is Efrain Pontaza, and I’m a foreign language teacher with a deep passion for languages and travel. I am fluent in six languages and am on a lifelong journey to explore as many countries as possible, immersing myself in different cultures and uncovering the beauty of our diverse world.

In this blog, you’ll find valuable travel tips, language-learning strategies, and personal insights from my experiences abroad. My goal is to make language learning an exciting and rewarding adventure while inspiring you to embark on your own journey—whether that means picking up a new language or stepping out of your comfort zone to travel to new places.

I hope you find this blog both useful and inspiring. Let’s explore the world together, one language and one destination at a time!

Two polyglots, Six languages

In this video, I chat with my polyglot friend Grecia in six different languages — English, Spanish (3:06), French (4:44), Portuguese (9:34), Italian (14:06), and Catalan (18:45). We share our language learning journey, the methods that have helped us the most, and the challenges we've faced along the way. Whether you're just starting out or you're already fluent in another foreign language, we hope our conversation inspires and motivates you to keep going.
