Lada's Story When I started working on my multilingual book on teaching languages using non-standard techniques, I realized that I needed coding knowledge to create appealing websites, apps and interactive games to debunk the stereotypes surrounding the learning of foreign languages depicting such endeavours as mission impossible.  In order to motivate students and adults from the very beginning of their learning attempts, and to concretely help them effectively learn any language independently, I need to have the necessary freedom and flexibility to implement my ideas, to fine tune them, and to make them accessible free-of-charge to as many children and adults as possible.  For this, I have to learn coding.  I also want to motivate everybody to be intellectually active at any time of their life.  Also, since I am volunteering with adult orphans, I want to show them that it is important to always be in the learning mode, and that one should be determined and true to one's aspirations and dreams.
