My language exchange partner is

Someone who is outgoing, funny, awkward and understanding like I am. Someone who can talk about all sorts of things. So if you’re nice, that’s good too. Oh and if they’re okay with sarcasm. There will probably be a lot of that.

My learning goals

I just really want to improve my knowledge of these languages. I wanted to click more but the limit is three. Which I think is just silly. But I’d love to be able to have conversations and understand more.

My favorite topics

Really anything I do like talking about dream jobs and accomplishments. I love 60-80s rock music. So if you like that kind of music, that would be a good topic. I love art, I’m actually an artist and trying to get my work out there, so that’s another.
