Hello everyone. My name is Vladimir, but you can call me Vlada for short. I was born in Europe, grew up in the USA and currently I'm in Serbia. I am a linguist and a professional translator with a degree in Oriental Languages. I speak six foreign languages at this point, but I'm interested in learning some more, Japanese is one of them. I have been teaching English more than ten years and I absolutely love doing that. For me, being a language instructor and a translator represents being a bridge between cultures, connecting people, bringing them closer. Learning a foreign language should be fun and exciting experience. I had a fantastic time studying all those languages and I would like to provide the same feeling of excitement in learning a foreign language for all of you. Besides my interest in languages, I am an avid science fiction fan, nature enthusiast, experienced traveler and a very good cook. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and I promise you'll have a fantastic time practicing English with me. See you in class.
