My language exchange partner is

Someone who is patient and consistent but also flexible. Would be ideal to have a asynchronous text chat to supplement regular scheduled voice conversations. Easygoing and also just curious about learning.

My learning goals

Conversational comfort. I want to speak with more confidence and really work on my pronunciation. I also want to learn about culture surrounding a language.
