Ideal language community partner

I'm willing to talk with anyone! But I would much prefer to talk to someone who would be willing to talk regularly (once a month, once every 2 weeks, once a week, etc). I sometimes get really busy, so I prefer to set a block of time when we can just talk.

My learning goals

I want to improve as much as I can, and hopefully make a friend.
