Available to practice a couple times a week. A slow and patient speaker! Someone who helps me improve my sentence structure. I'd love to learn many idioms and colloquialisms!

My learning goals

Develop a vocabulary around topics of interest. I am passionate about environmental conservation, and to be able to discuss this in a foreign language would be a dream come true! I'd love to have a deep conversation about this one day
