" I first learned German from the TV, I started watching animated movies when I was 9/10 years old,and I started learning quick like all the kids would do in my age, then I started buying books and then I kind of taught myself... I noticed that I really liked German and I was learning it quick . At the same time I was also learning English. When i just started to understand English I watched english channels with German subtitles, that way I was learning English and German at the same time. Then in high school I had a lot of language subjects and one of my professors, he was german and he held extra classes for those who were interested because the school offered, so I learned a lot from him including writing in German. Then I decided to study German in university and after I graduated I started working in Britannica, and I love it here because there's a lot of interested people who want to learn German that have different reasons and are different ages, and that makes it a lot funnier... a lot of my pupils know English and this makes it a lot easier for them to learn German because as we all know English is a German language. One of the perks of knowing German is that this language it's considered like one of the most difficult languages in the world so not everyone can speak it fluently, so you're kind of more privileged than the others. If I would have to convince anyone to learn German I would only say this to them: German is a language not only spoken in Germany but in a lot other countries in Europe so you have your doors open to any of those countries whenever you want to go there....I'm not saying it's not hard, I mean a lot of people joke about the Einstein question '' To be or not to be?'' they say it was '' Der, die or das?'' but if you love it enough I'm sure that you can also learn it.

Hello, I am Vesa Musliu and I am 13 years old. I go to ''Nexhmi Mustafa''. My favourite soccer team is ''Prishtina''.This team is also called ''Bardh' e kalterit'' and their supporters are called ''Plisat''. I've liked soccer since i was 2-3 years old. I have never missed a game in which ''Prishtina'' participated in. I want to be part of ''Plisat'' in the next years because I am not old enough yet. Watching ''Prishtina'' play makes me happy. My favourite player plays for ''Real Madrid''. His name is Cristiano Ronaldo. I believe he is the best soccer player and also my motivation to start practising soccer, which I do in my free time.
Hi , I’m Frida Fetiu. I am 13 years old. I go to “Ismail Qemali” elementary school. I really like Japanese language and culture. I take time out of my day to study the language. They don’t use Latin letters , they use their own alphabet. Some of the more complicated letters are called “Kanji”. Their culture is unique like every other Asian culture. Unlike European cultures which tend to have similarities, Asian cultures differ from one another and Japanese culture is very fascinating. They have their own way of dressing and unique traits. I really want to visit Japan one day. I think it is a great country with very interesting sights, and its well known for its discipline. I would like to study Japanese culture and language when I grow up. If that is not possible I would love to become a veterinarian. I have a deep fondness of animals and I myself own a cat.
" My story in Britannica is a really long one but I’ll try to keep it short. I came to Britannica for the first time in 2009-2010 studying for Toefl and that’s when I met Eddie, he was my teacher. I studied there for 4 months and after 4 months I went to the U.S thanks to Eddie and the Toefl training that I had. I stayed in the U.S for a year and a half, but I still came back to Kosova to be near Eddie because the atmosphere here in Britannica is simply fantastic with all the different events such as football and basketball tournaments, quizzes etc. After I finished studying English I started studying Italian during all this time I was part of the students’ government where we planned all the events that I mentioned above. After one year of learning Italian. I started working and it’s been 5 years now, and the best experiences I can mention are  the trips of course, they are the most beautiful parts  of Britannica. "
