Hi :) First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Anastasia. I'm from Moscow. I have a lot of hobbies, but foreign languages were always above all of them. I can hardly remember that moment when I decided to connect my life (or all my free time) with languages. Why I made that clarification about free time? Because my current job has nothing about languages. Absolutely. Even software which I'm using is Russified :( That's why I have to use foreign languages in my "out of office" life. And that's terrible. Because here, in Russia, we have just a few valuable opportunity to improve your language skill. It's either expensive and without avail, either free but it's on the knees of the gods. There are some places to meet foreign people in Moscow. Such like a museums, Red Square, Kremlin and other. But tourists come there to look at sightseeing, not to speak their own language with some russian girl. Speaking from the heart, I think that if I were in any foreign country, I would be happy to hear my own language. I'd like to more and more people would learning three or four foreign languages. Because it keeps your brain working, it gives you much more opportunities and it connects people. As for me, I passionate about Spanish and German, but I also would like to learn French, Italian, Japanese, Arabic, Chinese and may be some other. I hope that I'll cope that challenge. And I've already started. This summer I've participated Language Heroes Marathon. Throughout this three month, I've learned a little about French and had a conversation with a french girl at the end.
