Someone talkative, motivated, and friendly. Maybe someone close by (I live in Seattle). I'm on Tandem for language exchange, so all are welcome. If you love Khazars or Sumerians that’s a plus. :) 内気ではない日本人

My learning goals

Améliorer mon français oral. Ich will Deutsch lernen. Maybe even learn Sumerian . I might be open to learning basics in other languages as well if I find friendly people. MY ACCOUNT ISN’T FAKE. I just love languages.
