Ideal language community partner

I would appreciate it if they are somewhat close to my age (20-30 years old). More specifically, I just want a partner who can help me get a better grasp on the language without judging my accent and mispronunciation too harshly.

My learning goals

I would love to one day be fluent, but right now I’ll settle for being able to hold a simple conversation and navigate the country on my own.
