My learning goals

I want to be more fluent in Italian. I am okay at writing and speaking (almost perfect with listening) but I still make mistakes when I speak and I forget words or sentence structure sometimes. I would also like to keep up on slang and colloquialisms.

My favorite topics

Sports (playing more than watching), movies (especially horror or action/adventure), science (I'm studying psychology but I love science of any sort)

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.
