We all know how incredibly challenging it is to write things about oneself, but ... a faint heart never won fair lady. Such things do not come easy also to me, but my inborn shyness does not block me to make friends around the globe. I am more than happy to be given a chance to meet people, predominantly from the English-speaking world,to whom I would talk and exchange experiences. Personally, I am an academic lecturer, linguist, passionate about foreign languages, English and German in particular.
