My learning goals

I would like to become fluent in French, Korean and Russian. I am mostly-focused on French now (for university). I recently developed an interest in Icelandic.

My favorite topics

I enjoy reading, writing, art, learning languages and etymology. I also love discussing films (especially those directed by Nolan, Aronofsky or Villeneuve).

Speaking is the fastest way to fluency

Practice listening, improve your pronunciation, and learn to speak a foreign language with native speakers – no matter where you are.
