Her video wobbles as she moves with instructor Annie Poirier to a covered table. Video calls and adaptation have become integral parts of Annie’s life over the past few years. Since 2020, she has been teaching French classes online through Continuing Studies at UVic while backpacking in Mexico. She calls herself a digital nomad. “There's all this Mexican life that enters the class,” says Annie. “I taught one of my classes on a washing machine in the hotel because it was the only place where the wifi and the light were good enough,” she laughs. Even the small adventures like finding a decent internet connection are part of why Annie loves travelling. New environments, cultures and languages keep her stimulated. “I found that when I live in a French environment, I'm bored because I understand everything,” says Annie. “Life is way more interesting when you speak several languages.” Annie jokes that she speaks two and a half languages. Her first language is French. However, she also speaks English and continues to work on her Spanish skills. For Annie, travelling is also about connecting with new people, something that learning a language has the power to unlock. “When I travel, I can talk with everybody. In French, in English [or] in Spanish.”This ability, she says, makes it easier for her to make friends. Currently, Annie is building on her Spanish skills through music. Learning and singing popular Spanish songs has not only helped her learn the language but connect with the people around her. Annie explains that singing with people she 50
