Selim: No. I'm doing history and German.

Robert: I'm doing it with maths, actually.

Selim: History and maths. That's different!

Language level

A1 Elementary

My favorite subject is English. Also, I really enjoy maths because I like how it feels to solve difficult exercises after having practiced a lot.

My favorite subject before was math, but now it's the English language.

When I was a student, I really enjoy study Maths, I did a lot of Maths exercises. I remember I got the maximum point when I did the exam in three semesters. That makes me become a software engineer for now. And in the future, I will teach my children about Maths and Sciences

What subjects do you like to study? I like to study programming language, maths, physics and about the universe. I think I like these themes inherited from my father, because he is a nuclear physicist, really a scientist. He told me that if you want to understand the universe, you must know physics and mathematics.

I very like study English

When I went to high school, I liked every subjects, but i prefered english, french and math. Now I'm a math's teacher in a primary school.

I like German, French, chemistry, economic, Geometry, art

I like Math, and Econometric. It is very interesting. Also I like practice subjects, when you can learn some skills.

I didn't like studying any subject when I was a student. I only like PH and music class. I wish I was more interested in some subject as a student. anyway, I like studying language now and interested in a lot of things to learn
