Language challenges of last year and how it's changed me. Part 1. It's not so strange story for russians to learn English for 10th of years and still don't know it, partly becouse of scholar methods of language education. So only when you receive strong motivation and start to learn it out of shool walls you can speed up and acheeve some usefulll skills and success. At my 21, just after institute, i was able to read something not about economy with vocabulary, read and write something about finance with less problems and had reall problems with oral skills. Thinking about practice with native speakers like best and cheapest way in this case i've joined AIESEC organization. But you know, while you are not so sure about your language skills you avoide to use them for everyday hard work. So i wasn't brave enough and postpone participating in exchanging departments and my first project - first 6 month - was about other soft skills. But then i said yourself: "Stop, you are here for new languges and cultures, you will not feel real soul of AIESEC while you are not working on international project". And from this decision starts my really meaningfull Experience, may be not only languge experience, but also in social relations, leadership, cross-cultural relations and so on... Never before i have to many pals, fellows, co-workers, relations in generall. And i think i'm those kind of people who feel yourself perfect alone also, but after i've tried it, i understand how powerfull may be sinergy and how usefull for leader may be good organized group of co-thinkers. Sometime, of course, when it really are what it should be, TEAM. You know, team work also have some issues and i think anybody tried it can list them easily. So my first task with language was in HR area, it was interviewing of potential interns, who wanted come to Moscow. And becouse of my problem with oral skills and may be sometime the same problem on interns side it was crazy and exhousting, we was chatting for hours (when normal interview was for 30 min) without any special result, and it was to hard take responsibility and decide who is good enouth and who's not. Oh, so unfortunately i havn't become keen of interntional HR and my lazy part minimaze nomber of such interviews. I prefered to work with documents, also in English, but much more comfortable for me then withs peakers. But after 3 month when all questions about "who and when" was decided and first interns come, it became impossible avoid conversations with them, answer all their questions, argue and lead.
