I love learning languages and it is my hobby. Spanish was my first serious effort to learn another language independently (after school/university), it took me about two years. Later I have studied Italian for a bit and then, after a big pause, got interested in Chinese. So far I have achieved HSK4 level Chinese and passed the test. After dabbling in HSK5 for a while, the active study is suspended due to lack of time. Also interested in deepening my Spanish skills as I enjoy Spain and Spanish culture, and am coming to Spain with my family for holidays and remote work-ations;) Best regards to students, teachers and everyone involved in language learning and teaching. It is amazing to learn and teach languages to others.
