My family

I live in an apartment in Tirana. I have one brother and two twin sisters. My brother’s name is Artan. He studies law. He will become a lawyer. My sisters’ names are Arta and Anjeza. They go to high school. They have a passion for singing and dancing. My father is a cook in a restaurant. He makes traditional Albanian dishes. His favorite dish is chicken and rice casserole.

I like to cook with my father. I want to learn to cook well, just like him. My mother is a doctor. She works in the hospital. She wants to help people.

My grandparents are retired. Every morning, they like to drink coffee with their friends. Then, they want to read newspapers. During the day, they watch Albanian movies. They are very loving.

On weekends, we all go to the mountains. We go up to the mountain by cable car. We go hiking in the mountains and we explore nature. I am happy when I spend time with my family!

📌 Notes on standard Albanian
• It appears as Unë pëlqej të gatuaj me babain tim, but in standard Albanian it should be Më pëlqen të gatuaj me babain tim.
