According to the PR student Grigory Lyamunov who studies at the faculty of economics and management, he didn`t pay much attention before the 8th grade.

“But after that, I started studying it myself. I was fast to learn all the words, rules and so on. I think, the knowledge of the language played the biggest role in my future. I found many international friends. Also, English helps me learn new things, almost 90% of the content that I watch is in English. I`ve never been abroad but now I think that I can easily maintain a conversation with speakers”, - Grigory says.
