한국어를 진지하게 공부하고 있어서, 영어를 진지하게 공부하는 사람이랑 대화하고 싶어요. 제가 한국어를 이해할 수 있기 때문에, 우리 대화하면 답답하지 않을 거예요. 많이 친해지면 통화해도 돼요. 미국이랑 한국 시차가 커서 매주 약속하면 돼요. 데이트 하고 관계를 만드는 관심이 없고 나이와 성별도 신경 없습니다. 그냥 인생 친구 사괴고 싶어요.
My learning goals
제 소개: 미국 캘리포니아주 샌디에고에 살아요. 우리 부모님은 필리핀 사람이고 저는 미국에서 태어났습니다. 한국말 공부를 관심 어떻게 시작했어요? 솔직히 특별한 이유 없어요 ㅎㅎㅎ 그냥 한국 문화에 관심이 많아서 독학으로 한국어를 열심히 공부하고 있습니다. 한국말을 한 10년동안 배웠는데 아직 잘 못해요. 원어민이랑 문법 더 배우고 싶어요. 영어를 많이 가르쳐줄 수 있습니다. 한국 하고 미국 시차 커서 일주일 안에 30분 동안 통화할까요?
