Do you want to know more about this website and me? Let us begin! As you have probably read somewhere (or not?), my name is Luka. I was born in 1986 and my parents decided to name me after… Oh… let me fast-forward to the good part. ‣‣ Ok. Let’s start from here.

An interesting thing would always happen to me every time I tried to learn a new language. Whenever I started learning one, after several difficulties, I used to say that it was not interesting or important, and would give up like a fox in Aesop’s fable “The Fox and the Grapes”. It felt natural to dislike something that seemed like it was always out of my reach. Does this sound familiar to you? Well... My mom often used to read me this story a long time ago; however, it was only when I found that book again thirty years later and read it to my children not so long ago, that I spent more time thinking about the moral of the story. I’ve started learning new languages again and after trying out different things, I have finally found a way of learning that can be both helpful and enjoyable. I hope it will work for you too!

That’s the reason why I’ve decided to write compelling stories for beginners and let you have fun with your new language! For me, speaking a foreign language is probably the most important thing, but it’s very hard when you don’t know what to say because you don’t have enough vocabulary. And you know what? Reading and listening can help you!

And now, let me tell you more about myself (that is, after all, the title of the page, right?). I suppose that when you meet people you want to know their story. Therefore, my name is Luka (did you know that?) and I enjoy reading books, traveling, learning and teaching languages… and I am a lucky man, you know… Yes, yes, of course, because of my beautiful wife (she is sitting right next to me)! And a little bit because I teach languages at the university, so my hobby is my job! Also, this website is my hobby too. I enjoy working on it and I hope that stories by Luka will help you understand that languages are within your reach.

Read and listen to compelling stories by Luka and have fun… under a tree or somewhere else!
