My journey to English

I love learning languages — right now, besides English, I am also mastering German. Before I came to the courses, I completely lacked live communication skills. But thanks to my teacher and regular lessons, I felt a real drive. I like the process of learning something new because I am sure it will help me get a great education.

Results I’m proud of

In a year of study, I have taken a big step forward. Now I communicate in English with confidence, read freely, and show good results in class. The absence of a language barrier gives me a sense of freedom that every person needs.

Life during the war: music against fear

Because of the war, everything in my life has changed: home, friends, environment. The hardest part was leaving my native home. It’s scary to fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of explosions and constant sirens. Sometimes I miss the past very much, but I believe in a happy future. In the most difficult moments, music saves me — when I sit down at the piano and play, the fear recedes.

Dreams for the future

I haven’t chosen my future profession yet, but I know for sure: knowing languages means broad opportunities for me. It means traveling the world, having new friends in different countries, and the absence of any borders in communication. Now I read a lot and study hard to be ready for any challenges.
