My learning goals

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

My favorite topics

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.

Speaking is the fastest way to fluency

Practice listening, improve your pronunciation, and learn to speak a foreign language with native speakers – no matter where you are.
