Hello world! My name is Iryna. I come from a wonderful country in the center of Europe - Belarus! I fell in love with the foreign languages when I was a child so it's not surprising that I chose Minsk State Linguistic University as my "alma mater".

Feel free to browse this blog and comment on the posts. Looking forward to communicating with you!
