Someone kind and sweet, loves language, is very patient. Loves to joke around and goof off but can be serious when need be. Just relaxed and chill.

My learning goals

I want to become more fluent in these languages not just speaking-wise but writing-wise. I want to be able to communicate effectively and not just follow a script. I also want to gain more friends that I can converse with.
