* In my free time I enjoy going out with good friends trying out the local cuisine, reading books in English or Greek and Wikipedia lemmas in languages where I'm still at a level ∊ ]A0, A1[, such as: Español, Catalá, French, Русский, but which I'd love to learn bit by bit, expanding thus the interval to the semi-closed interval ]A0, A1]. | * In my free time I enjoy going out with good friends trying out the local cuisine, reading books in English or Greek and Wikipedia lemmas in languages where I'm still at a level ∊ ]A0, A1[, such as: Español, Catalá, French, Русский, but which I'd love to learn bit by bit, expanding thus the interval to the semi-closed interval ]A0, A1]. | ||
