Hello! 

My name is Štěpán Konečný, and I’m studying English Language for Education at Masaryk University in Brno.

When I’m not buried in books, you’ll probably find me listening to rap music - Eminem and Dave Santan are my favorites - or binge-watching series Game of Thrones, and Breaking Bad. I’m also a huge fan of MMA mainly UFC and never miss a big fight, especially with Jirka Prochazka in it. I occasionally train kickboxing too. 

I love traveling - whether it’s with my girlfriend or with my friends, exploring new places, people and cultures is one of my biggest passions.

But above all, I love languages. I started learning English when I was 6. Since then, I’ve connected with people from all over the world, making lifelong friends through language. Besides English, I’m also learning Italian and Russian, and my goal is to master them soon!

This portfolio is a space where I document my progress, goals, and achievements in English - both for my studies and personal growth.

Why This Portfolio?

• To track my language development over time.

• To reflect on my strengths and areas for improvement.

• To showcase my skills for future opportunities.
