It's going to take many hours to describe me well enough not to forget something significant. However, I'll try ... a bit later. I love listening to and performing music that I like just for pleasure - also I enjoy singing and playing the piano/keyboard. I graduated from a music school where I studied for 7 years, then studied at musical college for 3 years.

I can help you find comparatively cheap accommodation, meet and see you off at the airport/railway or bus stations and show the most interesting places in the town I'm living in.

I'd like to communicate in Spanish, Serbian/Montenegrin correctly enough to communicate with people of those nations and visit the countries where people speak in these languages. I'm interested in singing, playing and making music of different styles, in practical philosophy, psychology, farming and building a better world with and for those who wish the same ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here for finding hosts, for making friends who could become my soulmates and business partners, for teaching Russian and/or English, for practicing Spanish, Serbian/Montenegrin with native speakers online and offline.

To make friends with people of different countries, meet and/or visit them and share my knowledge, skills, ideas and culture with them. And I'm looking for language partners who will correct me every time when I'm mistaken in writing or reading aloud in English/Spanish. Those, who I tried to collaborate with, weren't willing enough to correct my Spanish/Serbian writing and/or correct my reading or just didin't understand what I really needed. So that's a must for my future language partners to use Spanish/Serbian (at least one of these languages) correctly and do not be shy to edit/correct each error of mine (both in writing and in reading).

¡Hola! ¿Si puedes consultar mis sugerencias en español y si hay algún error puedes corregirlas? A cambio, puedo enseñarte el inglés o el ruso con estas mismas oraciones, es decir, aprenderás como escribir correctamente en inglés o ruso, y luego (en cada lección par en Internet) podemos pasar a aprender como pronunciar (leer en voz alta) estas oraciones en inglés o ruso. ¿Estás dispuesto a estudiar así?

When helping one another in that way, I can guarantee all of my language partners obvious progress in learning English/Russian with me. Or suggest your vision and the way of efficient language help you want me to give you in return.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you my knowledge and skills in singing, playing the piano, chess

I'm looking for language exchange partners willing to learn Russian and/or English and those who can teach me Spanish, Serbian/Montenegrin. I offer the course of Russian/English in 26 most used topics in Skype/Facebook. At least an hour every day (30 minutes for you and 30 - for me). For strongly motivated (especially beginners) people only. I have no time (I hope you too) for talking/chatting on everything without any system or plan. And the course, which I suggest, is to have taught you and me all grammar rules and provide both of us with the most necessary words and phrases to successfully communicate in every situation given in the topics of the course. Not just bla-bla-bla! Only getting practical results (I mean skills and knowledge) for using languages correctly and fluently. If you hate wasting your precious time, of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can with pleasure share my skills and knowledge with my hosts.

I can teach you Russian and English (as the 2nd language) prefessionally as I'm a certified TESOL teacher. Also I can train you in playing chess and piano, singing, solfeggio, music theory, jogging, stretching, self-defence, etc
