My name is Margarida Alberty and I'm 63 years old.

Although I'm a native Portuguese I feel more like an international person because I can speak 7 languages! This is because I've been teaching Portuguese all my life surrounded by people from all over the world. I love it and I've made such good friends. 
I'm a cheerful person and love to have fun and enjoy life.
I've been running my own Language School for the past 40 years: www.margaridaschool.com
I've always included in my courses a bit of Portuguese Culture. That's how I started teaching TILE PAINTING to my foreign students. 
YES!... I've always been passionate for all kinds of art expression and went to various Art Retreats in the USA and Italy where I had the pleasure to meet many great artists.
But another passion was born then, when I volunteered as an English and Art teacher at an Orphanage in Cambodia. 
I fell in love with my mission which takes me twice a year to Asia now!
I founded the most gratifying cause
