About Me

I live in the UK and I have dual British/Latvian nationality, my Latvian nationality was acquired from my Father. He was born and lived in Latvia until he was 19 years old. He left Latvia and never returned. I have wanted to learn Latvian for a long time, but it never happened because I was always so busy with my work and family. My Father died in 2002 and I have been visiting relatives of my Father in Latvia since 2013. Some of my relatives speak very good English, so I have never been forced to learn the language. I attended an online Summer School organised by the University of Latvia in July/August 2021 and I achieved A1 standard. I can read, write and speak some Latvian at Beginner Level. I want to continue with one to one tutoring, so that I can speak to my relatives and I want to attend the Summer School in 2022 "Rīgā". I want to be good enough to join the next level (either A2 or B1).
