Valentina B
Interests: Friendly native English speaker and certified life coach from Canada. I am so happy to see you trying to learn a new language as it opens up for better communication throughout the world. Great job! I myself am a lover of languages and also travelling. I enjoy horse riding, oil painting and learning new things in general. I believe the best way to learn a new language is to get the basic foundational principles, then actually get out there and communicate with native speakers. I can fully identify and understand the challenges that come up when learning a new language, as I myself am a beginner in French and Serbian. I wish you the best on your English learning journey!
