"I don't have time" is just an excuse.
From psychiatric shifts to a specialist position in Belgium—starting French from zero. 🩺
Is it possible to learn French from scratch while being both a doctor and a mother? Cristina’s story is, quite simply, a "tour de force."
Imagine the last few months of her life: grueling shifts at the Psychiatric Hospital in Galați, two small children in kindergarten who need her attention, and all while preparing for her medical specialty exam.
On top of all this, Cristina added a massive challenge: she started learning French with us at Andreea Berkhout Academy, beginning from the absolute basics.
How did she do it? With incredible discipline. She finished her homework and joined classes even after sleepless nights at the hospital. She juggled her medical studies with her beloved family, and the results speak for themselves: she has already reached the B2 level!
Because such effort deserves an equal reward, a specialist position is already waiting for her in Belgium. Her decision to let the Moving People Recruitment team handle her entire professional journey was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Now, there’s only one hurdle left: the C1 exam. We are just one step away, and I can’t wait to announce her final success!
✨ Do you want to change your career path too, but fear you don't have enough time? If Cristina’s story inspired you, let’s discuss how we can integrate French into your schedule, no matter how busy it is.
