Want to try and guess some of them?💬

Hey guys👋🏻
Hope you’re all doing well. I’d love to get to know you better. Where are you from, how old are you (if you don't mind sharing), what are your goals for studying English? What’s your native language, and do you speak any other languages apart from English?
I’ll kick things off:
My name’s Elisabeth, I’m 25, born and raised in Ukraine. My native language is Ukrainian, and I’ve been working as an English tutor for almost 8 years. On top of teaching English, I’ve been picking up Spanish. I’ve also dabbled in German, but it just didn’t click for me 😅
Your turn💬👥
