ABOUT ME

We are both programmers. We have a lot of interests.
We have young daughter - Arina.
Ivan:
I want to learn almost all major languages - on one of each branch of Indo-European languages. Why? Because having understood semantic links of each branch I can connect thinking and imagination into one.
Result: I've learned around 25 languages, but it has made a big mix in my brain :)
I am founder of Slavic Languages community on FB with 6400+ members.
That could be interesting for you if you learn some Slavic language.
I like paragliding very much. So amazing!

Mary
I like gardening. I love plants and our cat.
Grass in winter - no problem)
