About Me
italki teacher since Aug 11, 2019InterestsPets & AnimalsGamingTravelFood
I really enjoy learning languages myself! I have been teaching languages for over 10 years and it helps knowing how hard it can be sometimes. I love to find similarities and differencies between languages, also the history behind it, this helps me understand not only the language, but the culture behind it. In my free time, I love to travel, to actually experience different cultures first-hand. I have 2 cats, I love animals, I often use them as examples, especially when learning about gramar. I paint and play video games, and no, do not learn languages from other players in a game, please! :DMe as a Teacher
I believe learning should be fun and I make it fun! I am very animated and in my classes I seldom use another language, as students use their native language as a cane which they never let go. Students need to be fully engaged in the new language, switch their thinking even, in order to achieve the best. I've been a teacher for the past 10 years - in schools, kindergartens, online, private tutoring. I learn every day from every student how to be a better teacher, I treasure those moments together! My lessons & teaching style
I try to make learning fun. You can't remember a word? I will give you a fun (or even annoying) way to remember it forever! You can't remember a sound? I will make a song for you! I do provide tips on how to improve your skills by yourself, as it is an important part of learning - practicing every day! I also give fun homeworks - like watch a video, tell me a joke about horses next time, etc. Culture is an important part of learning a language, so in every lesson, we also learn about customs, traditions, holidays.My teaching material

Always a great lesson. Fun and relevant. Nina pushes you to speak Bulgarian without feeling nervous.

Very engaging lessons, during lessons we manage to go through vocabulary, grammar, spelling… Nina always has memorable examples about the grammar topics we cover. Very rewarding!

Another interesting lesson. We went through difficult and interesting words from a literary text. A new approach to the Bulgarian language, the lessons adapt and change as I progress. These Nina's lessons are an excellent addition to my active self-study.

Another wonderful lesson—uplifting, enjoyable, productive, and motivating for independent study. I always doubt my abilities before class, but by the end, I'm amazed at how much I understand and can do.
