My favorite topics
I really like languages, and in particular I like helping people with pronunciation (I've studied Phonetics), but I also just like seeing people improve. I really like Snowboarding, Science (I used to be a tutor), and Fighting Games. I'm bilingual.
I want a conversation partner who is
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.
