この度家族の留学についてきたので、突然の異国生活になりました。コミュニケーションを誰かととれる場所もなく、1人の時間が多い状態がこれから2年続くので、英語はまだほぼ話せませんが、日常生活の会話を出来たら嬉しいです...

Perfect language exchange partner

もし可能であれば、日中に連絡が出来る方だとありがたいです。また、私がほとんど英語が出来ないので、そんな私でも許して頂ける方がいたら、とても嬉しいです。

My learning goals

日常生活で、いまは挨拶を軽く出来る程度だと思います。同じ人間なのに、言葉が分からないと言うだけで、相手の思いを知れなかったり、相手の気遣いにきづけていないのがとても悔しいので、笑顔で挨拶や日常生活での会話が出来るようになることが目標です。相手に甘えずに自分でも学習していきます!
