Perfect language exchange partner

Anyone who wants to exchange languages

My learning goals

I enjoy discussing a wide range of topics with people, which I believe is one of the best ways to learn a language, as it pushes us beyond our comfort zone. This is my main focus and the reason I aim to achieve a high level of proficiency in Chinese

My learning goals

I would like to improve my conversational Catalan and Portuguese. I made a goal to learn a language with a non Latin alphabet by the time I’m 30, so I chose Korean. I’m still a beginner and I’d like to improve my speaking and writing skills.

My favorite topics

I enjoy learning languages, watching Netflix, going to the cinema, science etc I’m a huge fan of Game of Thrones and other series like how to get away with murder, the blacklist, and of course telenovelas like Jane the virgin and la Reina del sur.

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.
