½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

Karin Korn Beccera teaches Spanish. She was born on the Northern Chilean coast in a copper mine but grew up in Lima, Peru. She went to a Peruvian women's college where she studied Architecture, as a more practical alternative to Art. Aside from her native Spanish, she speaks German, French, and English. She started her work for ½ûÂþÌìÌà as a translator and interpreter and became a teacher through her love for linguistics and translating. Outside of school, she loves to cook, knit and mend her own clothes through sewing. "For me, cooking is an art," she says "It gives me such relaxation." Though it is hard for her to find the time nowadays, she's still very passionate about art, especially painting.
