It all started when I joined this tech company for an internship, three years ago.
*DISCLAIMER : English is not my first language so some words might be off, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy this ;)*
A week or two into the internship, I was in the breakroom sipping coffee, looking at my phone, and suddenly I hear “Hey you, what’s your name?” I raise my head and I see this woman sitting right next to me. I introduce myself, she tells me her name is Ava (not her real name lol) and that she works in the office right in front of mine. I tell her that it’s nice to meet her and get back to work.
As the days went by, we end up forming a group of friends with her and some other colleagues. We got to know each other more, I learn that she’s Uruguayan and having done an exchange program in Argentina for a year we started speaking in Spanish. We then decided that she was going to help me learn Spanish and I’d help her learn French so we exchanged socials to begin practicing.
