Hi! I'm Arianna or Ari. :) I'm 22 years old and I study Sustainable Agriculture at a university in South Texas. I've set Ukrainian as my primary language because I live in a bilingual (Spanish and English) region of the US. Important background: I'm also learning Russian but Ukrainian has become my main focus because I quickly learned first-hand that Ukrainian is much more useful and very much preferred in Kyiv Oblast, even if it is often mixed with Russian when spoken. I was very embarrassed to have to ask for a Russian or English translation while in Ukraine just one month before the war... I'm married into a Ukrainian family so I'd like to practice in a setting where I'm not worried about embarrassing myself in front of in-laws! )))
