I would say my tandem is someone that is around my age range that way the relatability is there. Someone that is interested in learning English or Spanish and willing to teach me how to sound more like a native versus a book, to be able to hold convos. :)

My learning goals

Learn and experience the culture and language through interactions to prepare me to hold a conversation with natives/ locals. As well as complete my goal of always wanting to learn another language.
