My motto: The most powerful tool is a smile 😁

As you may know, I am Thomas Li Ma Wei!

I am a teacher of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) as well as Italian, a writer, and an examiner for French language exams.

I was born in France, near Paris, but I have traveled a lot! I lived for a year in Rome (La città Eterna), a year in Turin (la capitale dell’automobile), and a year in Madrid (la ciudad que nunca duerme). I have now settled in Lyon (la ville des lumières), my favorite metropolitan city.
