I hope my Tandem partner is very patient and helpful. I have been studying on my own for awhile, but I am still unfamiliar with grammar, verbs, and sentence structure. I also hope we can find things in common and become friends! :)

My learning goals

I hope to be able to hold basic conversations, read more fluently, and understand sentence structure.
