Someone who won’t make me feel embarrassed by my poor Polish skills! Fun, easy to talk to, engaging

My learning goals

I am 100% Polish and my family currently lives there. My struggle is with speaking polish correctly - oftentimes, I create sentences word for word what they’d be in English instead of how they would be said in Polish.
