Hi!

I am Matej, from Slovenia (You know, small country in Europe). First time, I solved the cube was in 2010. It was an old cube (I think Rubik's brand) from my grandma, it didn't spin well and it was really, i mean really slow. But it was good, because I was just a beginner. I solved that cube in like one and a half minute or two. And then, I bought one cheap from a local store. It was better, but still I wasn't satisfied with it. My solving times dropped down to a minute or so. And then I bought Type C II, or something like that. The cube was amazing for me :) Much better than previous one. And I started to learn CFOP, bust just 2 look PLL and 2 look OLL. My times dropped down to 40-50 seconds. I also went to an WCA competition :) I was somewhere in the middle with my time.
But then, I don't know why, I lost interest in cubing... 3 years passed by and I barely touched the cube. But then, on January this year, I was cleaning may room (yeah, the cleaning, it doesn't happen a lot of times :P ) and I found my old rubiks cube. I started solving it, and I think, I am back in game =) When I started in January, I could solve the cube in like minute and half, but now I can solve it in like 30-40 seconds. I also ordered new cube. ZhanChi :) I hope it will help me to get better times. I think yes.

So, otherwise, what do I do? I am a student of Faculty of Computer and Information Science and in my free time, I am usually programming, or. learning to code :) C#... and Java. :) But I an mot all the time at the computer, I am cycling and hiking as well. :)

Oh, and I almost forget. English is not my primary language (It is Slovenian), so there are probably quite few mistakes. But believe me, I am trying to write as correct as possible. I am not really fluent in English, as you can read. :rolleyes:
 
Hi!

I am really trying to write as correct as possible but it takes me quite a time writing a sentence. :)

@ Winkers787: huh, I don't really know. I had English in school as a subject from seventh grade (but I wasn't really interested in it and usually I hardly passed the exams), that means I am learning English around 8 years or so... Quite a lot of time, I should be more confident about it :P Anyway, next year I am planning to visit an English speaking country for a month or so, just to learn language more fluently. If I will collect enough money, I will go to USA, otherwise probably UK.
And about "the hardest language to learn"... I don't believe it. I would give that title to Chinese or German probably. :) But also, our language (Slovenian) is considered to be very hard. So, About English... when I was studying, the hardest thing for me to understand was tenses. I mean, there are like 15-20 different tenses, how am I suppose to chose correct one :D

@Tom606060: No, I use beginner method. But I will have to learn Advanced technique, because I am solving F2L for like 20 seconds or even more! And I am like: "Where is this red-white piece. It was here a second ago. Hmm...oh look, here it is... great, now I lost the corner. :) "
