My learning goals

I find it hard to engange with people here as i am rarely on this app and a lot of people here want something more than just learning a language so i have no goals. Maybe i should just be a tutor here instead.

I'm looking for people from France who I can meet and practise my French with. I also want to learn more about the country, and know where I should go on my travels through the country.

My learning goals

I want to be comfortable enough to have conversations with people in other languages with having to refer to a dictionary or google translate. Have a good basic understanding of grammar and vocabulary which can be built on.
