My learning goals

I want to improve as much as I can, and hopefully make a friend...

My favorite topics

I really like languages, and in particular I like helping people with pronunciation (I've studied Phonetics), but I also just like seeing people improve. I really like Snowboarding, Science (I used to be a tutor), and Fighting Games. I'm bilingual.

Ideal conversation exchange partner

I'm willing to talk with anyone! But I would much prefer to talk to someone who would be willing to talk regularly (once a month, once every 2 weeks, once a week, etc). I sometimes get really busy, so I prefer to set a block of time when we can just talk.

My learning goals

My top priority now is to learn a little bit of conversational Italian before my trip to Rome in late July. Longer term, I am also interested in learning German as well.

My favorite topics

Food, nature, travel, current world events, and politics. Generally, I enjoy meeting interesting people and learning about other cultures.

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.
