I have a long relationship with Siberian Federal University: I came here for an exchange semester once and realized that I had a heart for it. There is a Spanish Language Center at the university, where they help us in everything: from paperwork to solving everyday problems. I feel very good here: the SibFU campus is my favorite place in Krasnoyarsk. In my free time, I like going to a swimming pool and walking in the nearby woods.
I have been studying Russian for five years now. At first, many concepts were difficult to understand, for example, those related to student life. I didn’t understand what zachet, zachetnaya knizhka, poluchit' avtomat means, but live communication is the best way to fill in the gaps. Every day I learn new words, write down expressions that I hear in the street, and am amazed at how differently a thought can be put in Russian.
Now I am finishing my Master's degree and want to stay in Russia – not in Moscow spoiled by tourists, but here, in calm Krasnoyarsk, and work as a teacher at SibFU.

At the age of twenty, I realized that I wanted to completely change my life: move to some other country, get an education abroad, learn more about some other culture. I chose Russia and Siberia not by chance, I wanted to come to Krasnoyarsk and enter Siberian Federal University. Foreigners usually associate Russia with cold weather and bears. Yes, it's cold here, but nature is so beautiful! I think this country should be visited by tourists more.
Initially, Russia got me interested in its history and culture, but it was the good people who made me fall in love with this country. Before coming to Krasnoyarsk, I studied Russian culture and traditions, conducted a kind of research to find out what kind of nation the Russians are. Yes, they are serious, but this is quite okay – in such weather, few people manage to smile all the time. Nevertheless, I found myself in a friendly student environment, and teachers, fellow students and just passers-by are always willing to help. I made great friends here.
It turned out that the program I chose was not taught in English, so I study in Russian. However, there is no language barrier: the teachers speak clearly and understand that I am the only foreigner in the group. Russian is a beautiful and difficult language, and Russia is a huge country, and you need to learn to speak Russian if you decide to come here.
