Hello my name’s Mariana I live in a small village near Kazanlak in Bulgaria. I’m a christian. I’m blind and I’ve cerebral palsy and I don’t go out much. Here in my home I learn languages, read books, I love listening to music and everything which is a sound makes me curious that’s why I ask my friends to record the sound around them. I said books and music but I didn’t describe what I read or listen to. I like to read Christian books adventures crime stories science fiction classic books, history novels, books about traveling to different places and lots of descriptions of what surrounds the book personalities but maybe there are lots of stories that I need to read. I listen to old hymns and Liturgy, classical music, jazz, some oldies, country, electronic, folk music and everything in which I can find beauty and meaning. From the languages I speak a little bit of English, Russian and Esperanto I was in a group for Italian learners from scratch long time ago, but the group is not active anymore. I started to learn this beautiful language I think on may this year and at the moment I use busuu as my resource. The game of chess is also really interesting for me and I’d like to improve the way I play it. I think to start learning python too or something related to programming. I’m interested at sound editing too.I’m looking for friends who listen to beautiful, fresh and positive music.
Zdrasti, Mariana! I have been to your wonderful country many years ago, because one of my college roommates was Bulgarian, and I really loved it. I was in Sofia and Plovdiv and Koprivshtitsa, and I found Bulgaria so fascinating, since it is at the crossroads of so many different cultures and religions and civilizations. I think it’s wonderful that you are reading and listening to so many things, even if you’re not going out a lot, you are truly a citizen of the world! I know a few phrases of Bulgarian, plus a couple bad words ;-)!
If you want to practice your Italian, we have an online meetup group in my city, look for the Ann Arbor Italian conversation group on the meetup site. The only drawback is that it is on Eastern Standard Time, which is six or seven hours behind you, on Sundays at 2 PM, EST.
Nice to “meet“ you!
Sonja
