My best subjects are French and English. It’s really interesting to me to study smth new about language, to learn new constructions, to learn by heart poems and prose, to answer different questions in different languages, to learn speak fluently, to discuss different problems. My dream is speak English like a native speaker.

Not so often. I do not like meeting new people, I am kind of an introvert.

I meet new people in different time in different places

Yes I am, we have a lot of social network pages, so people can meet new people easily

I meet new people once month. My Business unit normally has newbies every month, and we have buddy activities for welcome new comer.

I meet new people in different time in different places.

I not often meet new people because I just go to school and at home day by day. I really like to meet new people and have a lot of friends, so I have to learn English and traveling to other countries and meet new people . I hope to have many international friends in the world.

I meet new people every day for my job, I like meet many people.

I meet new people not to many often nowadays, I meet people at birthdays parties of friends and work reunions. When I was younger I used to meet people very often.

Thanks for the lesson.
Great site!
