I want to talk about anything. I am trying to speak to one person in my target languages per day. I hope that we can be friends and talk about things that we enjoy. Movies, food, music, friends, childhood memories—anything.

Ideal language community partner

I would like to talk one hour with someone, 30 minutes in English, 30 minutes in my target language. That way we can both get the most out of the conversation and manage expectations with one another. If we become friends, even better!
