I want a conversation partner who is

Someone who can help me actually speak in Spanish! I’m afraid to speak and I end up responding in English because I’m embarrassed to pronounce words incorrectly or use the wrong word. Someone can be patient while I improve

My learning goals

I would like to be as fluent as possible in Spanish eventually, but I would at least like to practice some everyday conversational phrases before my next trip to Colombia in May.

To improve my Spanish to a point where I’m comfortable marketing myself as bilingual in my job. I especially need to work on my vocab. I think Italian is just the most beautiful language ever, so I started working on it last year on Duolingo just for fun

Tell me something interesting about where you live. What do you like to do for fun? What’s a good book you’ve read recently? Tell me about your favorite trip you’ve ever taken.

My learning goals

I would like to be fluent in Korean and German. I know a bit of German but I would still say I’m a beginner. As for Japanese, I would still like to learn the language as my brother knows Japanese. I also think he trilingual will help me later on.
