Sara i Stefan Ivanović

 



Sara je jedna nežna,dobra, iskrena,topla, komunikativna,ljubazna i mnoooooogo romantična duša. Živi sa roditeljima i bratom u kući i njena životna ljubav je niko drugi do STEFAN IVANOVIĆ... Zbog njega je Sara svoje slobodno vreme provodila učeći raznorazne vrste masaža,a posebno "sportsku masažu", posvetila se jezicima,... tako da njen dragi bude ponosan na nju...

Stefan Ivanović je: iskren, pažljiv, prelep, šaljivdzija velika, pomalo ljubomorne prirode ali bi srce dao za osobu koju voli

Upoznali su se u osnovnoj školi kada je Stefan Ivanović došao prvi put u Sarino odeljenje...tu je buknula ljubav na prvi pogled i od tad su znali da se nikada neće razdvajati... na odmorima su bili stalno, a za vreme časova Stefan je stalno Sari dirao repiće ili bi je češkao po kosi njenoj...Eh te klinačke ljubavi su taaaaako divne... Sara se osećala kao da je na sedmom nebu, a za vreme časova je stalno ispisivala njegovo ime i njegove nadimke lagano i sa puno ljubavlju i maštala o njemu neprestano...

Čak ni posle škole se nisu razdvajali nikako... Stefan je išao kod Sare i stalno su učili zajedno i jedno drugo propitivali,a po završetku s učenjem, Sara je redovno pratila sve njegove pripreme vezano za teninske turnire...a kad god negde pogreši, Stefanu je bio samo mali osmeh svoje ljubljene Sare pa da nastavi dalje... da se bori iz petnih žila i izvuče ono najbolje iz sebe i da učini čak i više nego što se od njega očekuje... Svi su bili zapanjeni i oduševljeni načisto... Sarina i Stefanova ljubav je rasla svakim danom sve više i više i sve je bilo super dok se nije pojavila jedna druga devojčica po imenu Mina... koju su odredili da mu bude dubl igračica... provodila je dosta vremena sa Stefanom i to je Saruu izluđivalo načisto...

Mina je inace zločesta devojka,ali sa puno taktike i stila... ona je naprosto opčinila sve igrače svojim šarmom... Uživa u tome da zavodi i da muškarci gube glavu za njom,a na Stefana je bacila poseban pik...Minin hobi su ples i folklor i po tome je bla prepoznatljiva... uživala je da ponekad za vreme odmora uhvati dečake za ruke i da zapleše sa njima i tako dokaže koliko je moćna..

Stefan je neko vreme pokušavao da joj se odupre, jer je znao kome zapravo njegovo srce pripada tj. Sari, ali ima nešto demonsko u Mininim očima i u njenom glasu što Stefanu nije dalo mira... zbog toga je Stefan sve manje odlazio kod Sare kući da radi domaće zadatke,a sve više je provodio vreme sa Minom i to je Saru počelo lagano da brine....

Međutim, Sara nije htela da ispadne paranoična i trudila se da u neku ruku razume svog ljubimca po pitanju njegovih obaveza i treninga. S toga, odlučila je jednog dana da ode na Stefanov dubl trening...i imala je šta da vidi....

Mina je u jednom trenutku isfolirala povredu i zatražila je od Stefana molećivim pogledom da je uzme u naručje i odnese da se malo odmori,a Stefan to nije mogao da odbije pošto je po prirodi pažljiv i pravi džentlmen...

Sari su krenule suze na oči i brže bolje se zaputila ka kući...

 

Sara je dugo razmisljala šta da radi i konačno je odlčila i rekla je u sebi: "Mina, nećes ti biti bolja od mene nikako... ima da naučim sve to što ti znaš i jos puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuno više.... a kad te prođe popularnost trenutna ostaćes opet NIKO i NIŠTA, a moj dragi će te zaobilaziti u širokom krugu...

 

I tako je Sara marljivo učila i svima je izlazila u susret... nastavnici i celo društvo ju je volelo....al ne samo njeno drustvo, već i iz drugih odeljenja... i Sara je bila postavljena za predsednika odeljenja.

Slobodnog vremena skoro da nije ni imala za sebe....ako nije učila onda je išla na časove ruskog i španskog jezika ili bi išla na časove plesa gde je naučila sve vrste plesa,a specijalizirala je trbušni ples....

 

Sarina popularnost se vremenom širila svakim danom sve više...sada nije bila popularna samo u školi... skoro da nema osobe u gradu koja se Sari nije javljala(izmedju ostalog i oni ljubomorni i pakosni su joj se klanjali i "stope joj ljubili"), jer je proglašena i za đaka generacije i za mladu trbušnu plesačicu godine...

Dodela priznanja je bila iznad svakog očekivanja,a narocito jer je Stefan Ivanović začinio svojim posebnim gestom...

uzeo je nekoliko teninskih loptica i na njima ukratko ispisao da voli SAMO Saru i da mu Mina apsolutno ništa ne znači uprkos svim njenim ispadima i glupostima...a na poleđinama loptica je stavljao svoje potpise.

Kada je to zavrsio,sakrio se negde i tako stajao sve do onog trena dok je trajao uvodni govor pre dodele priznanja.... Nakon predatog priznanja, Sara je videla nesto neobično... prvo je jedna loptica krenula da leti u vazduhu pravo u njenom pravcu... a onda redom i ostale loptice isto tako... Sara ih je hvatala,al se našla u čudu... Onda je neko od organizatora došapnuo Sari "čitaj šta piše po tim lopticama s obe strane i sve će ti biti jasno"

Sara je krenula da čita lagano i bila je šokirana...toliko da je ostala nema i razrogačenih očiju duuuuuugo duuuuugo vremena...

Stefan je onda odlučio kako je to pravi trenutak da joj napokon priđe onako šmekerski i zavodno sa naaajlepšim osmehom na licu koji samo on poseduje i da to bude kao "šlag na tortu" ... i tako se on prišunjao Sari onako tiho i nečujno i potpuno nežno je uhvatio Saru oko struka i naslonio glavu na njeno rame...

Sari nije trebalo dugo vremena da provali ko je u pitanju i krenula je da lije suze radosnice koje su se prvo lagano,a onda sve jače i jače spuštale i kvasile Stefano meko i nezno lice... zato je Stefan odlučio da je okrene ka sebi, zaroni u dubinu Stefanovih očiju boje kestena i svojim poljupcima joj obriše suze sa njenog lica,a posebno sa njenih usana...

 

Kada je konačno bio tako blizu Sare, Stefanu su reči naprosto nestale i samo je pokušavao na sve načine da očima priča što je više moguće i na taj način joj prenese poruke njegove duše i njegovog srca...

U jednom trenutku je uzeo Saru u naručje, nosio je svuda po sobi i usput ljubio to njeno lepo lice i tiho joj šaputao "mesečeva svetlosti moja, sunčevi zraku moj, zvezdo moja najlepša, roso moja jutarnja.... "

I tako je Sara uživala u Stefanovom naručju,a Mina je sa suzama u očima gledala to sve neko vreme i nije mogla da veruje da je njen voljeni izdaje na taj način... zapravo, ona je bila opsednuta njime naročito zbog toga što se u njega puno ulaže i puno je uspešan...Zbog toga je rekla u sebi: "e budalo jedna... uživaj u Stefanu Saro, dok jos možeš... nisi svesna kakve sve gadosti jos mogu da učinim, naročito jer sam u odličnim odnosima sa predsednikom teninskog saveza Srbije, Boškom Martinovićem i njegovom suprugom Melisom Petkovic tj. Lepom Ružom tako da ima načisto da mu uništim karijeru kako bi mi došao onako ponizno i molio me da mu oprostim... al ... to će biti samo početak ... "

I tako se Mina trudila da upisuje isto što i Stefan (prvu ekonomsku školu i ekonomski fakultet) kako bi ga mogla proganjati na svakom koraku... takođe, kada je čula koliko je Sara uznapredovala što se tiče plesa, odlučila je da Saru obruka pred celim auditorijumom kada bude neko bitno nastupanje i kada bude Stefan odlučio da je gleda kako pleše tako što će podijum za igru da podmaže nečim masnim tako da se oklizne u jednom trenutku ili puno lepljivim tako da se ukoči odmah u sekundi tako da ne može napraviti nijedan pokret...

Dugo je to planirala onako sa slašću i potajno je u sebi nosila taj zločesti osmeh....

I tako je Mina najpre pokušavala da ubedi Boška Martinovića i Lepu Ružu na sve moguće načine da ubede da Stefan napusti tenis(prvo molećivo a zatim raznim ucenama),ali bezuspešno,jer niko od njih nije naseo uprkos tome što su puno cenili Minu kao Stefanovu dubl igračicu. Čak su izjavili "budeš li i dalje dosadna  i pokusavala i dalje da izbaciš Stefana iz nekog svog hira na bilo koji način iz profesionalnog tenisa, mi ćemo biti ti koji će izbaciti tebe! Je'l ti jasno to?! "

Mina je bila jako besna pa je samo sa suzama u očima klimnula potvrdno glavom.

Međutim, Sara je imala neki loš predosećaj u vezi sa Minom te je unajmila neke privatne detektive da je pomno prate,slikaju i snimaju šta god da radi... i... bila je u pravu!

Kad je dosao taj dan Sarinog nastupa, Mina se onako vešto prikrala i ceo pod podmazala nekim lepkom tako da se Sara zalepi čim napravi neki pokret...ali....

Mina nije računala na to koliko Stefan,pre svega voli Saruu i koliki je on zapravo zabavljač i voli biti u centru pažnje. Zbog toga je Stefan krenuo da izvodi ples(jer je njega tata to učio još kad je bio mali) i čim je napravio neki pokret,ostao je kao ukopan i nikako se nije mogao više pomeriti.Za svo to vreme kamere i fotoaparati su non stop bili uključeni i sve je bilo zabeleženo...

Iz ovoga se može zaključiti da je taj nastup pomeren,a narod je bio užasnut onim što vidi. Mina je proklinjala Saru koliko god je mogla, psovala i plakala neumoljivo, al opet nije htela ništa da prizna,već je pobegla glavom bez obzira.

Stefana su jedva uspeli da odglave, tako da su ga morali odvesti u bolnicu,jer je usput uspeo da se jako povredi.

Sara je za svo to vreme bila uz njega i negovala ga je s puno ljubavi,nežnosti,topline,... U jednom trenutku je detektiv nazvao Saru i sve joj objasnio šta se desilo i rekao joj kako pod hitno mora doći.

Kad je Sara dosla i videla sve, najljubaznije mu se zahvalila na svemu, platila mu i odmah se uputila ka Stefanovoj porodici... i čim su videli šta je u pitanju,napravili su više kopija slika i snimaka i dali su primerke novinarima i teninskom savezu Srbije, a original su sačuvali za sebe.

Isto tako su organizovali sve i uputli se ka Mininoj kući. Čim su došli, naravno, novinari su odmah počeli sa ispitivanjima. Mina je u početku izbegavala da daje bilo kakve komentare,ali su novinari bili toliko vešti i uspeli su da izmame njene odgovore(a i osim toga, svi su priključili njenom pritiskanju). Nakon svega, Mina je pukla i krenula je...

- DAAAAAAAAAA, ja sam to uradila! Uradila sam iz ljubavi ogromne prema Stefanu Ivanoviću,al je on glup pa to ne vidi,nego ima samo oči za Suru!!! MRZIM JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, PREZIREM JE!

- Ok, al zašto ste onda Stefanu naudili? On je sad u bolnici i oporavlja se

Mina je u tom trenutku počela da drhti i samo uzviknula jako na kraju:

- NISAM HTELA NJEGA DA POVREDIM....NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, SARA JE KRIVA ZA SVE..... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NE PODNOSIM JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

u tom trenutku je pokusala da pridje Sari i da joj naudi, al joj toliki narod nije dozvolio ni da prođe sve dok nije došla policija i odvela je... Sari je tek tada bilo lakše.

KRAJ PRIČE

EPILOG:

Kad je Mina u pitanju, ona je bila toliko ogorčena i besna da nije mogla ni sa kim da se uklopi...stalno je plakala,cmizdrela i proklinjala da se smučila svakome.... takođe je pokušavala da pobegne iz zatvora kako bi naudila Sari trajno,ali bezuspešno jer je stalno bivala otkrivena... zbog toga su je na kraju zatvorili u samicu,a za vreme svakog slobodnog vremena, zatvorenice su je stalno mučile i psihicki i fizički i Mini se život pretvorio u pravi pravcati pakao.

Stefan se brzo oporavio zahvaljujući neizmernoj pažnji i ljubavi svoje voljene drage kao i svih njemu dragih osoba koji su stalno bili uz njega kad mu je to bilo jako potrebno. Iz tog razloga je organizovao zabavu za sve kako bi proslavio taj svoj oporavak,kao i povratak na teninski teren i u nove radne pobede, a sa Sarom je proveo čitavo to veče... i bilo mu, naravno, ludo i nezaboravno...

Po završetku svojih studija, Sara je postala njegov P.R. menadžer i stilista (pošto su svi bili oduševljeni njenim idejama i kreativnošću).

Stefanovii prijatelji su Saru fenomenalno prihvatili i zavoleli je. Jedino je samo Stefanov otac pravio problema malo u početku(pošto je poznat kao veliki namćor i svađalica),ali se ubrzo i on smirio kad je skapirao koliko je Sara zapravo divno i neiskvareno stvorenje i kad je video koliko je Stefan zapravo srecan pored nje; dok sa ostalim članovima porodice nije nikad bilo apsolutno nikakvih problema...

 Kao šlag na tortu, Stefan se stvarno potrudio i Sari je otvorio skolu trbušnog plesa gde je ona zajedno sa njegovim ocem trenirala novije generacije,a Sara je bila neizmerno srećna i zadovoljna...

 P.S. likovi su izmisljeni!

İlginç ve eğlenci bir şekide nasıl bir yabancı dil öğrenebilirim?

 



Genelikle insanlar düşünüyorlar ki, eğer birisini hemen dilbilgisi ve bir az yeni sözleri öğrenirse, harika bir şekilde konuşacak. 

Artı, onlar düşünüyorlar 'eğer ben hemen bir feedback (geri bildirim) almarsam, elbette hiçbirşey iyi bir şekilde öğrenmeceğim ve ben sadece mükemmel bir şekilde konuşmak istiyorum vb

Sonra, genelikle ne oluyor? İnsanlar böyle çalışarak yavaş yavaş motivasyonu kayboluyorlar ve elbette öğrenmek istemiyorlar (özellikle kötü öğretmenleri için). Ne yazık. 

Bu durumu değişmek istiyor musunuz? O zaman, devam edelim...

  1.

HOW TO LEARN A LANGUAGE BY PLAYING PC GAMES?



Hello dear students, how are you? I hope you're fine. Are you a gamer? Do you need to learn English or any other language? If your answer is yes, use this advantage, you're a language learner, in order to learn any language you want. On the other hand, if your answer is NO, I think you’ll change the opinion once you read this article from the beginning till the end. That’s because you’re going to figure out what did you miss so far so now. Learning process is like this: 

  1. Choose the game genre you like: fight (e.j. : mortal kombat) , race (e.j.: need for speed), strategy (e.j: heroes of might and magic) etc  

1a Choose the games wisely --- I’m saying this because, many people choose the games like “Candy Crush” , “Super Mario”, “Bubble” or something like this, just to catch the time.  Trust me, those games are useless, because you have nothing specific to learn. There are no specific stories, there is nothing specific to do (maybe to block something, to jump, to go around, etc) and it’s a pointless. 

  1. Playing a game by using English is not A MUST. That's why, feel free to put the target language, so you can learn it in an interesting, original and nice way. 
  2. Practice your reading --- try to understand the stories you have to read, as much as you can, from the situations. 
  3. Practice your vocabulary --- Whatever you play... games like "Barbie" or "The Sims" etc., you'll always have something to use --- maybe to create the people and their personality, maybe to choose the perfect car for your races, etc. --- Use your dictionary for the unknown words (if you don't have a dictionary next to you, you can always write the words down and then you can look for the meaning on google)
  4. Practice your listening skills --- In some games like: Dungeon Keeper, Mortal Kombat, etc., you'll listen a lot, because you'll have a lot of different and interesting stories. It'll attract your attention so much. Usually the music and soundtracks are so good as well, so you'll "accidentally" translate everything in your brain, and you'll get to use to the sound and voices. 
  5. Practice your writing skills -- Almost every game has an option "Play online". Use this opportunity and write to other players, so they can give your a hand and so you can practice your writing with them.  If you don't have this opportunity, then you can always try to find some "forum" regarded to the target game, and you can discuss with other users there. 
  6. Make new friendships, with different players from the whole world and talk to them on Skype or any other communicating tool in order to practice your speaking skills.
  7. If there is any problem with the game, contact the customer support. That’s how you’ll practice your writing skills, you’ll learn a lot of new words and you’ll solve a problem in a short period of time. Three prices for one. 

Additional suggestions:  

  1. Try to take 15-20 min (as a min) and not more than 2h for your games. I know that games can be contagious, but if you take too much time on it, you’ll have no time for other duties you might have like: family, work, etc.
  2. Don’t be shy and don’t be scared --- Trust me, nobody knows everything. We all learn. Also, if you don’t make mistakes, you’ll never learn. 
  3. Don’t think too much if somebody is going to make fun of your language skills – The person who does it, he/she is not the worth of your time. This behavior shows he/she is unhappy, full of envy, hate and all types of negative feelings. That means, instead of helping you and motivating you, this person is going to teach you wrongly and this person is definitely going to demotivate you and that’s not what you want, right? 
  4. Appreciate the people that make corrections, because those kind of people definitely cares about you and they’re absolutely into this. They really want to give you a hand and you should be thankful to them. The most beautiful way of “thanking” is repeating the correct answer you have been told and learning from your mistakes. That means you make progresses, because obviously, you’re not going to repeat your mistakes any more or at least, you’re going to make your mistakes less and less. 

And that’s the end of this story. Please, feel free to give me any kind of feedback like: critics, suggestions, praise, etc. Your opinion is very important to me, because they help me improve my working skills. Plus, I’m here because of YOU, my dear students.STOP learning languages because you “MUST” and start learning languages because “IT IS FUN” and because “IT IS INTERESTING” because only that’s how you’ll really learn. If you have fun and it’s interesting, you’re “accidentally” learn new things and even without knowing it, you’ll make huge progresses in a short period of time :).  


Best wishes, 


Suzana

How to get rid of the cultural barriers

 Good afternoon, dear Sirs, how are you?



Have you ever travelled abroad? How was your travel?

Are you one of those people who would focus only on speaking perfectly in English (because of course, EVERYONE speaks English perfectly and so everyone is going to understand you perfectly)? 

Well, it is supposed to be like this because English is supposed to be the international language. Of course, in every country, touristic guides and in a hotel yes they are going to understand you and to speak in English (without any problem).... However, not all people can understand you perfectly. 

For example, I know some cases when a couple of people needed some help from some Italians. When they got lost during their trip to Rome, they wanted to get some help and they used English but people did not know English at all and that's why they could not help. Of course, the people who went to the trip got disappointed and angry because they did not get what they wanted. Of course, since English "is spoken everywhere" they taught Italians just wanted to ignore them and then to gossip after some time. 

On the other hand, I learned Italian before my trip to Rome. It took me about 1 year to reach B1 level, by starting from A0 level. Ok, I admit, I was already lucky enough in the sense I was an advanced Spanish speaker, so I learned Italian relatively quickly (I studied too much hard - all afternoon, evening and night long...only Italian and sometimes I would use some other languages - in order not to forget them). Later, I kept studying it until I did not reach the level I wanted. 

I went to Italy in 2016 when my level was between B2-C1 level, I guess... and I was so happy I was able to use the language. I used to speak in Italian with salespeople, a taxi driver, one policeman (because at one moment I was lost and I needed some help). 

Everyone were more than happy with my level. The salesperson spoke too much about his painting to convince me buy it. It was too much information for me, some words were a bit challenging to understand but at the end I got the point. That was a very good language practice for me.  

The taxi driver used to make me too many questions about Serbian sport , especially about tennis. Talking to him was a nice experience.  

When I talked to a policeman, I was under the stress. That is why I did my best to memorize his words the fastest I could so I could get my friend and myself out of an area and come back to our hotel. The policeman was very kind and he explained me so well, so I did not have any problem in finding the address. 

The cultural shock was the next thing:

In the afternoon, I wanted to drink some cup of coffee (and I did not want an espresso, I wanted a cappuccino since in Serbia we can drink it whenever we want and there is nothing wrong with that) and my friend from Naples ordered 3 cups of espresso coffee. I asked him with the disapproval tone and facial expression "Who on the Earth told you we'd like espresso" 

He said: "But, you said you wanted a cup of coffee" 

and I said "Yes, but not espresso. I wanted cappuccino. " 

The barmen understood everything and he gave us cappuccino and my friend had the same "disapproval" face and he started to give me a lecture about this. My friend felt some small tension between us, so the poor guy pored the glass of water around the table. Since, my mind was thinking completely in Italian, I talked to him in Italian so he did not touch anything. Thank God the barman cleaned everything without criticizing us.  Then I simply decided to embrace this small change, as a part of their culture (because I wanted to enjoy my trip and to be happy). 

So, despite of this culture shock, I really felt like "at home" because the people were very polite, kind, positive and everything was so awesome. Also, my friend from Rome gave us a ride and we visited also some other parts of Italy (suburb areas - where I was able to see some beautiful gardens, parks, ... ) and when we went to the dinner with this friend, I did not let him order for me, and I spoke so much in Italian language. I suppose even the waiter was very satisficed because a foreigner was able to speak Italian.  

In conclusion, don't make the same mistakes like me or like people I mentioned above. Why?

 if you are not open minded - you're not going to accept other opinions/habits  

If you judge from your own culture perspective, it means you are not ready for something new and you are not able to see the pros and coins of other culture in the right way.

 If you master a language, it'll be your perfect guide how to do the previous two activities. Otherwise, there'll always be some lack of resources, information ....  

If you come up with any other idea how to get rid of your language barer, just let me know by writing in the comments. 

If you need to learn Italian, you can book a lesson right here:

How did I fall in love with the Spanish language











Good morning, how do you do? Since I just adore Spanish, I'm going to write about it. When I was 11 years old, we were able to notice a new TV program... It was unusual, because we used to listen only Serbian or English on TV (because of so many programs about science, travel, animals, ... and movies...from the USA mostly) and that TV series was in Spanish. Since I'm so curious girl, I used to watch it very carefully...and I behaved like a baby... I was observing everything (how did they behave, I was listening to their intonations, their accents, ...and the actors were so handsome). So, I would repeat everything out loud, no matter I understood just a bit (mostly it was guessing because of their situations)... The next day, I'd play at school with my friends...acting like those actors and actresses but in Serbian... it was so goofy. I was so impressed with everything about that TV show...so I decided to watch the repetition of that episode the next day... My mom would tell me "Are you OK? Why are you watching the same all over again...you already know what happened" She did not understand it was part of my language learning. I used to repeat the whole process with all possible future TV soups from Latin America (Mostly they were from Mexico...and some of them were from Colombia)... My first friends and teachers were from Colombia...they were so patient and nice to me... They taught me a lot. Then I mostly communicated with Mexicans...sometimes with people from Ecuador and then from Venezuela, etc I discovered even the Latin American music and from the first melody, I fell in love... So, that was the moment when I told to myself "One day I'm gonna speak like those actresses, I swear" and 15 years later, I made my dream come true with a lot of love, dedication and discipline. I'm still in love with the Spanish language like from the first day... ¡¡¡QUE VIVA ESPAÑOL!!

How have you helped a student reach fluency from scratch?


https://www.italki.com/teacher/1448117
https://amphy.com/referral/5fcf57ea-7067-4d0a-936e-7bbb4155abba

 Learning foreign languages sometimes can be challenging… but with a strong approach, a lot of fun, and hard work, anything and everything is possible. I think your WILLPOWER is the key for success. Plus, if you have a good teacher or friend with a good command of that language who’s able to help you…then what else can you ask for? 

The person I’m going to speak about is Ante. He’s from Croatia. The first time we started working together was in 2017. When I saw his name for the first time, I thought it was probably some American who had origins from Croatia and wanted to learn Croatian, but that was not the case. Instead, he wanted to learn English. I was happy because I felt I could help somebody from the Balkans who spoke almost the same language as I do. 

I think the biggest challenge was teaching him grammar, and that is why I did my best to mix different methods…such as: using the book English grammar in use + comparing different aspects of grammar with Serbo-Croatian grammar as much as it was possible + writing some short stories on Google Docs.  

I also used to give him a lot of homework so that he could practice as much as possible since he was not the type of person who would start learning by himself (especially because he would work so much and, of course, he would spend the rest of his time with his family). So that was the only way to make him practice his English a bit more before he went to work… 

I would like to compliment his determination and his discipline. He was finishing his homework almost always on time. Plus, our lessons were NEVER boring. He is such an energetic and smart man. I also used to joke a lot with him so that he could embrace his mistakes much easier, and most importantly, learn from them. 

I truly believe that was exactly the reason why he became one of my great friends and not only a student. I also used to remind him about his homework when necessary. I will never forget one of his jokes: 

- I will not let you go to Bratislava for the Polyglot Gathering because I won’t have you to remind me about my homework. I will get up super early and tell everybody that I was going to work, when in reality, I’d be making a deal with my friends from Belgrade (later I ended up teaching them English as well because Ante recommended me as a teacher) and we would all show up at the bus station in order to convince you not to go, and we wouldn’t leave that place until you came with us. And if you still get on the bus, I will put a needle in the tires so you can’t go. 

Of course, he was just joking, but that was the sweetest joke ever. I knew they would never actually do it (and they didn’t), but those words showed how much of a loved and important teacher I was. That was priceless. 

When I came back from the Polyglot Gathering, we worked together for a very looong time after. I also used to organize free online English video conferences and of course, native speakers were invited as well. These conferences were the best opportunity for him to practice both his listening and conversational skills at the same time. These conferences were the best opportunity for him to practice both his listening and conversational skills at the same time. After that, one day, he started to understand English grammar much better that he even started correcting his boss at work. His boss told him, “Wow, you have an amazing teacher. She taught you so well.” 

Ante is definitely one of the students I will never forget. I hope we are going to keep working together and also, I hope he´s gonna keep learning English in order to master it one day.
