Dhananjay Talwar & Anastazja Cariuk

Dhananjay Talwar

I am Dhananjay - or DJ - a huge language enthusiast born and bred in North London, United Kingdom, though my family is originally from the region of Punjab in India.
I became part of the multilingual community in 2018 and regularly attend the Polyglot Gathering and, now, the Polyglot Conference too.
I have learnt over 20 languages to various levels, of which I am currently fluent in at least 9.

I am a full-time private tutor and have helped students to gain entrance to top schools and universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.
I now specialise in tutoring students for French GCSE exams.

As well as learning and practising languages, I am interested in linguistics, the philosophy of language, and especially metalinguistics - how the languages we know shape our experiences and the way we see the world around us.

Anastazja Cariuk

Born in a small Belarusian town, Anastazja speaks multiple languages. She moved to Poland, the home of her grandparents, when she was 16, and after finishing her education, she set out on a lifetime travel journey. She was able to live and learn languages through immersion as she lived in eight different countries, ranging from China to the Middle East and Ireland. Anastazja speaks 7 languages, 5 of which she considers fluent. Turkey is one of her favourite destinations, as it is where she has developed her ability to fit in with the locals. She enjoys showing people Istanbul, explaining the difference between Belarusian and Russian languages and running in the rain.
