My learning goals

I would like to achieve complete fluidity in the language I have chosen to learn, and maybe even gain a new friend, and a better understanding of new things.

My favorite topics

Anything really. I'm kind of chilled and I enjoy hearing lots of different discussions about different topics. If there's anything I want to be, it's "woke". Politics, music, food, fashion or the moon.
