Perfect language exchange partner

Anyone who is down to exchange languages

My learning goals

I enjoy discussing various topics with people, which I believe is one of the best ways to learn a language, as it helps us step out of our comfort zone. This is my main focus and the reason why I want to achieve a high level in Mandarin Chinese and German
