Susanna Zaraysky

I have studied ten languages (English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Serbo-Croatian, Hebrew, Arabic, and Hungarian) and speak seven of them. (Only vestiges of Hungarian, Hebrew, and Arabic remain in my memory.)

I am a world traveler and polyglot whose goal is to empower people to be global citizens who are knowledgeable about world events and are confident international travelers and communicators.

I have my own segment in Spanish on the Al Despertar morning show on Univision San Francisco called “El idioma es música” where I give tips on learning English with songs and the media. “Al Despertar” airs on Univision/Telefutura San Francisco every Monday on both the 6-7am (Channel 14) and 7-8am (Channel 20) shows.

I’ve been featured on CBS, CNN, MTV, the Filipino Channel, Yahoo Finance, Fox Business News, Univison, Telefutura, and MSNBC and I’ve given presentations at the US State Department, to audiences in Thailand and Qatar, at Stanford, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of San Francisco and San Jose State University.
