Languages have
always been my passion. I studied them in the school, but also by myself with courses of records, cassettes and nowadays online. It was easy for me to learn them due to the fact I have a natural gift for languages. The level of the languages' knowledge refers to the: Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) |
