Victoria Rudd is a multilingual adventurer guided by perseverance and curiosity. Though English is not her native tongue, she uses it with ease and humor. The journey took a sharp turn when she moved to Spain for her master's degree, assured that all courses would be in English. On arrival, she discovered everything was taught in Spanish, and the Spanish classes clashed with her core courses. Faced with this unexpected challenge, Victoria dove headfirst into the language, mastering Spanish out of necessity to thrive in both academia and daily life. Her story is further colored by earlier language experiences—French being the first foreign language she learned—making her language journey one shaped by adaptability, resilience, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
