Russia born Marta Kasargina speaks several languages and credit her success to an early start.

"If you begin studying a foreign language from school texts you may be scared when it comes to speaking, because you know the theory but are not sure if you can really do it", say Marta Kasargina to SBS Italian.

Born in Russia, Marta is also fluent in Ukrainian, English and Spanish. Italian came last, but clearly not least: listen to her story as told to SBS Italian.
