Hello! My name is Julie (or Julia). I don't know where I'm from (well, somewhere in America, but I'm not sure which city or even which state!). I'm very happy to be in Ukraine. I love teaching English (because it's very interesting and my students are awesome). I also love learning languages myself. Now I'm studying Russian (and a little Ukrainian). I want to speak Russian fluently! For me, Russian isn't difficult, there's just a lot to know. If you want to talk with me, you need to know the word "awesome" because it's my favorite word! It means "super." In my opinion, life is very interesting. I don't know what else to tell about myself. I like almost everything! Seriously! Talk with me and see. :)
