Summary
I graduated from the Faculty of Education at Masaryk University in Brno.
I participated in EVS in Slovakia. There I met many interesting people from different countries, which is why I wanted to go to the USA and learn the English language. I actually got to America, but here I teach the Czech language and the piano to Czech and Slovak children. I'm glad for this experience, but it doesn't help me much in developing my English. That's why I would like to get somewhere where I probably won't meet Czechs or Slovaks. I found your job offer on the Internet. For someone from such a small country as the Czech Republic, it is almost unimaginable that they will ever look into the Universal Studio.
I know my English is not perfect and Google helped me with this text, but I took ESL classes and I listen a lot to the radio and watch series on TV. And I really hope to improve my language skills soon.
So: I speak fluent Czech and Slovak, I learned German at school, but I never had the opportunity to use German in practice. Regarding the English language, I would say that I am an "advanced beginner" who needs to work a lot especially on listening.
