I often meet new people when I have to move new places because of my jobs.
It's very interesting and wonderful.

My best subjects are French and English. It’s really interesting to me to study smth new about language, to learn new constructions, to learn by heart poems and prose, to answer different questions in different languages, to learn speak fluently, to discuss different problems. My dream is speak English like a native speaker.

Not so often. I do not like meeting new people, I am kind of an introvert.
