Nathalie de Lepine
In this episode of Parkour-ED, recorded at the International French School in Singapore, host Colin Dailey interviews Natalie de Lepine, a new English teacher at the school.
Natalie shares her unique background, including her family history from Martinique and her personal journey. Born in Paris, she moved to the United States at 18 months. She lived with her grandparents in New York and attended the Lycée Français of New York, where she learned both English and French.
Natalie discusses her upbringing, highlighting her experiences in different American cities like Miami and New Orleans, where she attended public schools. Despite being in English-speaking environments, she maintained her French language skills through family connections and trips to Martinique. After spending several years in the U.S., she returned to Martinique for her schooling, where she faced challenges integrating into the local educational system due to her American background.
Throughout the conversation, Natalie reflects on the cultural influences in her life, her bilingualism, and the differences between American and French educational systems. The episode emphasizes her journey and the importance of her cultural roots in shaping her identity as an educator.
