Yulia Amerkhanova started learning German in her second year at SPbGASU. She also studied on her own and is still striving to improve her skills: she reads, writes and speaks a lot of German. 

“I really liked the topic of the competition, and I decided to combine business with pleasure - to demonstrate my skills in my favorite foreign language and receive a certificate of participation in an international competition,” Yulia said.

In her essay, Yulia expressed respect for the profession of an architect. The author is sure that architects have an active influence on the world around them and solve the most important problems of society.

“Laureates of the essay competition have completed the course "Foreign language of professional communication", read as part of teaching a foreign language at our university. While studying students are offered various creative tasks aimed at developing not only language skills, but also linguistic creativity, which can be useful in their future professional activities,” said Elena Selezneva, Head of the SPbGASU Department of Intercultural Communication.
