My name is Xenja, I am 31 years old. I was born in Russia, then moved to Germany when I turned 10. Therefore I consider both, Rusian and German, my native languages. I would say my German is perfect, my Russian is very good.
I started learning English in 5th grade so I had English for 8 years. After highschool I started enrolled in linguistics and Scandinavian studies at a German university (I have a Masters degree in both). All of the linguistic literature was in English so I had a pretty good base before I came to the US.
I came to the US in 2010, then spent some months in New Zealand, then a whole year in Canada. Since 2012 I live in Northwest Montana which I consider the most beautiful place in the world. |
