I want a conversation partner who is

Someone who has a positive mentality on life, who isn't worried about making mistakes or what others may think about them, who stays true to who they are, who doesn't judge a book by its cover, and someone who is eager to improve themselves each day.

My learning goals

By assisting others, I hope to develop and refine personal skills and traits that will help me become a better person. (Having more patience, being more adaptable, improving my active listening skills, being non judgemental, accepting differences)

Ideal language community partner

Someone who is open-minded, easy to talk to, and that will reciprocate by also inputting effort into keeping the conversation going. Someone that understands that life is busy, and that can’t always reply fast to them.

My learning goals

I have in mind learning as many languages as possible. I do this during my spare time, so I will take this step by step, a few words at a time. I am not in a hurry to learn languages, it’s just for enjoyment.
