My learning goals
At the very least, maintain my level of Spanish. Would be great to improve my Spanish vocabulary and overall fluency. Learn more portugués and start to learn Italian. All for casual conversation and day to day life uses/context
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.
