Do you remember the video we saw in class? Here you will find more information about Alex Rawlings and some tips he gives for you to be more motivated and sound more fluent. If he can do it, you can do it, Go for it!!!

Alex is a citizen of the world. He was born and grew up in London, UK. As a child, he spend long summers in Greece, visiting family and wondering why he couldn’t understand anyone. He quickly realised that if he could learn to speak other people’s languages, rather than waiting for them to speak English, life would be much more interesting.

After misspending his adolescence learning languages like Dutch, Catalan and Hebrew, in 2012 he was named Britain’s most multilingual student after being tested for fluency in 11 different languages. His studies of German and Russian at Oxford University led him to study in provincial Russia and work in the Press Office of the Greek Embassy in Berlin. After graduating, he packed his bags and took a one-way flight to Budapest, where he studied Hungarian for a year before living in Spain, returning to London in June 2016.

He moved to Barcelona in November 2018.

Now having studied more than 15 languages, Alex spends his time writing about languages, intercultural dialogue and multilingualism. He lives in Barcelona, but you’ll also find him passing through Johannesburg, London, Athens, Budapest and Berlin, and other parts of the world.
