Living and loving a language-filled life and career: A chat with Katerina Forrester

Have you ever wondered what the most challenging and rewarding things about being a high school language teacher in Australia would be, when English is everywhere? It’s a task that teachers like Kat take on everyday and honestly - we’re in awe!

In this Language Chat, we speak with Kat Forrester, a Melbourne-based French language teacher, language enthusiast and self-confessed syntax geek who lives and breathes a love of language everyday. Kat tells us about her experiences of learning, studying and teaching, what’s inspired her, what motivates and challenges her to pass on her love of French to her school students, and lots more.

We hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did! Do you have any questions for Kat or for us? Contact us here.
