General
Fluency in English

- Comprehension of any American/English articles in magazines/newspapers. Reading the New Yorker and the New York Times as a new yorker;
- Reading English literature with criticism, avoiding reading translated versions;
- Writing complex, sophisticated business e-mails without any help of google translate;
- Gradually getting rid of subtitles while watching series and movies;
- Fluent speaking with a slight touch of cute accent (deliberately, of course).
- Passing the TOEFL exam with >100 scores.
