CURRENT MISSION To improve my competency in spoken German and Russian. To push myself out of my comfort zone and challenge myself! ABOUT ME My fiancé and I live together in our house in south Wales with our two cats - Mickey and Biscuit :) We've been renovating our house for the past two years, but there's still a long way to go since we're doing all of the work ourselves, but it means we've learnt a lot of new skills! But sadly, I'm about to leave the three of them at home alone for a while, as I'm moving to Klagenfurt in Austria to take up a job as an English language assistant for eight months!

Учить, учиться, делиться
I will always be willing to share my language learning experiences and help you with learning English.
Мои интересы
I studied German and Russian at the University of Exeter, so I love hearing about anything to do with languages and the history of these two countries or any eastern European history. Sadly, although I can still understand a lot, I've lost a lot of my fluency in these two languages, but I can still get by. I love cooking, baking and being creative in the kitchen. I also love a good cocktail!
