My language exchange partner is

I think everyone has something to bring to the table and choosing to speak with only one type of person limits your view of the world. So I wouldn't mind someone who is opinionated but open minded, smart but chilled, fun but mature, and has a lot to say.

My learning goals

Would like to be fluent in German and French before this year ends
